AN ANALOGY THAT WORKS

A friend points out a shrewd analogy for those claiming that W doesn’t have the right to be president the way others have because he lost the popular vote. Say we play a game of tennis and you win 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. I actually won 14 games to your 12. But would I ever claim that you didn’t rightly win the match? Even if there were a few close line-calls along the way? Of course not. Gore and Bush both knew the rules going in. They played by them. One lost. The winner gets inaugurated tomorrow. Game, set and match.
