This is true (>50% voted against) for all three candidates. Look at it this way, fewer people voted against Clinton than against the other two. (This is actually a pretty accurate way to describe it, since most voters were voting *against* someone rather than *for* someone.) They call it a landslide for the same reason they called Reagan's victory a landslide -- the electoral vote came out that way. -ed falk, sun microsystems sun!falk, falk@sun.com To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags -- that is a loyalty of unreason, it is pure animal (Mark Twain).
