Not a mandate
In case you were starting to get fooled
Just a friendly reminder--51% is NOT a mandate. Then again, this is the guy who thought being appointed by the Supreme Court was a mandate.
Go to this graphic, click on "previous results" and "1984 General." As disgusting as it is, Reagan had a mandate--the man won Massachusetts, for crying out loud, and Mondale got a mere 13 electoral votes. Then look at this year's map. Kerry BARELY lost, and Bush BARELY won. Not a mandate.

Worse than that, Bush got 51% of the 60% of Americans who bothered to vote. He only got like 31% of America.

Isn't it ironic that Bush comes out against gay marriage, yet at every chance he gets he boasts of how America has given him a "mandate?"
