The Popular Vote

I've already heard more than enough times that it is somehow important in a historical sense that Bush recieved more votes in 2004 than any candidate ever (Gasp, even Reagan!). This overlooks the small fact that there were only about 300 people in this country up until about 1920.

Gross numbers don't mean anything, unless there was a ballot initiative to repeal the laws of mathmatics that I missed somehow.
