As some Fox News guy just quoted Kennedy on, a one vote margin is a mandate.

The Atlas only has Kerry at 53.5 million. Reagan got 54.5.

Gore is 4th now though. I think Kerry is 3rd, Reagan 2nd.

It's not a mandate because he got the most votes ever. It's a mandate because he won.

This wasn't a mandate.

It was a 51-48 win. It was a win of 3 points. A solid win, but no mandate. If you congratulated Bush for getting the highest popular vote ever, you must consider George Washington's election a miserable failure.

Only two Democrats since the civil war have gotten a larger percentage of the vote than this President: Lyndon Johnson and FDR.

The Perot voters wouldn't have all just stayed home.

What are we defining as a mandate? He won, so he certainly has the mandate to be president for four more years and carry out every solitary item of his agenda.

LOL! Bush got a larger percentage of the vote than Clinton. Only two Democrats since the civil war got a larger percentage of the vote than this president - Lyndon Johnson and FDR.
