Mandate??

[TimeToGo]

My wife just called and said CNN is saying that this is a mandate. God help us all.

(btw, on Monday, when things were looking Kerry – MSNBC was talking that Kerry would need to reach over and bring in Repubs to his cabinet – I am sure they will say the same thing about Bush. He will need to reach over and bring in Repubs).

1. What? he won by about 100,000 votes. hardly a mandate.

5. Losing was a mandate

51 % is a $%^#%*% landslide.

2. Heard the same thing

Be afraid, be very afraid.

3. Every time we hear or see the word mandate we need

to fire off a letter or an email to someone. Do it! Remind the media and our fellow Americans that more people voted against a sitting president than have ever done so before. Keep plugging away at it or within two months we'll hear he won in a landslide. Say it early and often.

4. Bush has a mandate. He "won" the popular vote.

Be careful what you wish for. There is no way the Dems can be blamed for the next four years of decline.

6. Bush got the smallest % win

of any incumbent pResident "re"elected and he had more votes against him than any other sitting pResident - hardly a mandate, but that is moot because look what he did when he got less votes than the other guy - but of course he got less votes this time - we just can't prove it.
