The Greatest Number of Popular Votes of any President in History

In introducing the newly re-elected George Bush, VP Dick Cheney said Bush got "the greatest number of popular votes of any president in history." How can this be when Bush only took home 51% of the popular vote?

Keep in mind that :

  1. The population of the United States is larger than it has ever been
  2. There was record voter turnout at the polls

George could have won by one vote and still garnered the greatest number of popular votes of any president in history.

Oh, and what was up with Bush's moniker for Karl Rove? The Architect? C'mon.
