If current polls hold, it will be the 1st time a party (the GOP) loses the popular vote in 7 out of 8 elections since the Dem Party was founded in the 1820s. The GOP would also be averaging its lowest % in the popular vote over 8 elections ever.

That would be 2004. I've always thought there was something suspicious about what went on in Ohio, late on election night. Also Florida, I'm not at all sure that Kerry didn't get a lot more votes in that state.
