Back in 2000 the Dems kicked up a storm when they won the national popular vote and lost the election... Nothing came of it because the GOP had control of Congress and the Whitehouse. They went on to rule as if they had an overwhelming mandate of the populace.
Well politics in 2000 was a polite gentleman's game compared to the elections now. The only thing missing today is armed warfare between neighbors (currently they just don't talk to each other).
So let's speculate on what will transpire if Romney wins the popular vote but loses like Gore did in 2000?
I can just imagine the theatrics on Fox or the Tea Party lunacy calling for a change in elections. Then Congress trying to go along with it.
