- The way I remember the numbers it was like 43% for Clinton and 34% for
- Bush. That is ONLY 26% more votes than Bush got. As you have already said
- in a previous post, 25% is "Insignificant." An insignificantly larger
- number of people voted for a liberal than voted for a conservative. As you
- noted above, there was a third candidate, but since he got less than 25%,
- that was "Insignificant."
