Spinning the Ground War

The conservative take on Tuesday's election is based on the poular vote returns for President Bush. Like this argument from the Wall Street Journal's blog, OpinionJournal:

Yes, but it is equally true that more people voted against Bush than had ever voted against a sitting president in American history. And Kerry's 55.6 million votes were also "the most ever for a presidential candidate" and about four million more than had voted for Al Gore in 2000. So the glass is both half full and half empty.
