Doesn't matter. Bush governed as if he had a mandate for the last 4 years anyway. He'll continue to do so, only more so. This time he actually got the most votes AND he picked up support in both houses of Congress. I suspect we'll be in for more tax cuts, bigger budget deficits, a weak economy, and more war and deaths overseas, with a continual terror threat, along with little movement toward peace between the Israelis and Palestineans. I only hope that Stevens and Ginsburg can remain on the court for 4 more years. I'm sure Rhenquist and O'Connor will retire soon.
True. He'll have to satisfy a lot of moderate Republican Senators now though. McCain and whatshisname from IN on the foreign relations committee have been pretty pissed about Iraq.
Cheney did say mandate in his comments today.
