1. So that "No Republican has ever won the Presidency without winning Illinois" is no longer a true statement. Illinoisians need to be knocked down a rung. They're all, like, "Hey, I'm from Illinois."

2. So that "No Republican has ever won the Presidency without winning California" is no longer a true statement. In spite of hating each other, they all claim credit for ruling the country. Californians are all, like, "Hey, I'm from the good part of California."

3. There was this one smarmy guy on election night on NBC that was overconfident in Gore winning. He was all, like, "Hey, Gore will get the Electoral Votes he needs," before any states had been called. He needed to be taught a lesson.

4. It's cool that John Quincy Adams is no longer the only Son of a President President. Besides Bush's election being new fodder for historical trivia, John Quincy Adams, wherever he is now, was, I'm sure, all, like, "Hey, I'm the only Son of a President President," and he needed humbling.

5. If Gore had won Florida and thus the Presidency, it would have meant New Hampshire's 4 electoral votes for Bush weren't enough to swing it for him. Since Bush did win Florida, New Hampshire's 4 electoral votes mattered. Had New Hampshire gone to Gore, Florida would not have been an issue, because Gore would have had enough electoral votes without Florida. So now that New Hampshire's electoral votes were essential to the President-Elect's President-Electhood, we can show the country just how important, powerful, and otherwise ruling New Hampshire truly is. Because, hey, I'm from New Hampshire.
