There's a study in my Statistics textbook which has data from the Florida polls, and it clearly shows that the votes for what's-his-face were significantly higher in the butterfly poll state counties than elsewhere in Florida.
And I don't mean the Shrub, I mean the guy whose name appeared beside Al Gore's and whom people accidentally voted for instead of old Al. And there were a bizarrely high number of votes discounted because TWO of the squares were punched: those of Al's and what's-his-face (WHY does his name escape me?!)
It seems pretty much to me that the Shrub may have won on a faux pas of massive proportions and utter stupidity.
