29. I hate to sound conspiracy-theorist-y, but...

Ok, I'm not saying there's any specific evidence of fraud and I'm not saying we should whine like Donnie did 4 years ago and so on...

I'm just saying, there's a lot of highly circumstantial evidence suggesting that the vote count was larger than his actual support. So little enthusiasm, so few signs, he barely campaigned during the last critical weeks, so little celebration, etc. I've never, ever seen a winning campaign look and act like that.

I'm just saying that if somehow, years later, it's revealed that there was fraud, then yeah, that would not surprise me in the least.

Not that it would change a damn thing, I mean, we found out later that Al gore actually won Florida, but that changed nothing....
