Good Point -- Is this a Mandate?
EconoPundit takes aim:
We all know there are more US voters than any time in history, right? So to judge the Bush 2004 mandate we should look at the winner-loser margin as a percent of total voters, and check it out, this number doesn't play so great...Sooner or later those on the other side will notice there were only four elections since 1920 with a lower "mandate" number than that generated by our just-finished election.
And one of those four was Bush's own election!
