george w. bush -- let's go back to bill clinton and then george w. bush and then obama. all three presidents for different reasons have come to office with the kind of cloud of illegitimacy over them. i think clinton because republicans believed they were going to control the presidency forever after. and because ross perot ran and republicans felt he messed up the election, george bush senior should have won re-election. clinton had a cloud to begin with. bush, of course, had the problem of florida and bush v. gore which was problematic. obama i think the problem may have to do with the kind of persistence of racism in american political culture and other factors. in any case, it seems to be the last few presidents have had serious issues maintaining the legitimacy of their elections. and i think the very way in which our elections are conducted with red states, blue states and battleground states has complicated that. it taught us to think about the election of a president as an exercise in a political map where the big majority state goes to one side or the other and t
