Add in the fact that the Trent Lott thing has a lot of Democrat angles, including the fact that Gore's father was a racist who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also the fact that their oldest member, Robert Byrd, was a KKK'er, and that Clinton's hero was William Fulbright, a strong Segregationist...
As for the popular vote, that does not elect the President. It elects the electors. Otherwise, the people who feed this country (the farmers, ranchers, etc.) would have no voice. The election would be decided in the population centers.
