The big flaw here is that the mass media and our elites have lectured and pontificated about Vietnam ad infinitum. Thus, Americans DO remember the past.

On the other hand, Bush is the third decendant of a former President to be elected in our nations history. Each of the prior Presidents (John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, and Benjamin Harrison, grandson of WH Harrison) lost the popular vote when they ran. AND each of the prior Presidents lost their re-election bid to the same person who they had defeated in the electoral college the previous election.

Well, yes. Although there is something rather "inside baseball" about such assertions, isn't there?

"The Red Sox are 1-6 when on the road against Chicago when it's raining and their starting pitcher is a leftie." If you see what I mean.

Although, here's an amusing bit of politics-geek trivia for you:

Not many people know this, but George H.W. gave his son a new nickname not long after the election in 2000:

"Quincy."

That still cracks me up.

Its just creepy (the part about maybemaybemaybe Algor will rise again). Now I won't sleep well for months. On the other hand, I have a toddler. I wasn't going to be getting any sleep anyway.
