| | Faithless elector watch. By Timothy Noah |
| | Dubya won in the Electoral College by 34 electoral votes, or 29 electoral votes more than his electoral-vote margin in 2000 (five electoral votes). | | | After all, I reasoned, in recent presidential elections there had more often than not been a "faithless elector" (and if you count the "Greeley faithless," of whom only a tiny elite of Electoral College bores is aware, then going all the way back to George Washington there have been more faithless electors than presidential elections). | | | The only faithless elector in 2000 turned out to be a Democrat, one Barbara Lett-Simmons, a Gore elector from Washington, D.C., who abstained in order to protest that jurisdiction's lack of any voting member in Congress. |

| | In McKay's straightforward biography, the "Great Elector" epithet, bestowed already by Frederick William's contemporaries, reflected the accomplishments of a successful and particularly lengthy political tenure. | | | In addition to creating a standing army and defeating the territorial estates of Brandenburg and Prussia, Frederick William established himself as a sovereign--if petty--European prince by consolidating his rule over a composite state of non-contiguous territories. | | | German nationalist historians have long celebrated the seventeenth-century "Great Elector," Frederick William, for establishing the Hohenzollern dynasty and, allegedly, setting the course for Prussia's unification of Germany. |
