The exit polls are irrelvant and garbage. I care nothing about exit poss results or gee-whiz charts or statistical demagoguery that purports to "prove" that Bush didn't win. None of our high Democratic elected officials take that line of inquiry seriously. Only the actual vote matters. If you can't find a smoking gun, an actual provable mechanism by which the actual vote count was manipulated, there is no way to make a credible case the election was tainted badly enough to change the outcome.

Please explain not just he won cause he in office.. its like saying, your stuffs gone cause you were robbed.. duh! but explain how and why you think bush "won"!

I think the simplest, most likely explanation is that Bush won the electoral vote fair and square by winning the popular vote in enough of the right places at the right time. I believe there was widespread ineptness among election officials in Ohio and probably every other state. I believe there were as always isolated pockets of individuals, not restricted to the GOP side, who used dishonest and illegal means to try to influence the results their way just as there is in every major election.
