The MANDATE (That's What It IS) Grows:
Quote | Reply
Several people have pointed out that as the vote-counting process is completed, President Bush's margin of victory continues to grow. His popular vote advantage is now 52% to 47%, and he won by a whopping 4.7 million votes! The election wasn't close after all.

Like I, and CE, have said (hee-hee): Kerry got his ass whupped ;-)

It was close in Ohio.

The margin in national votes is fairly surprising, and this is coming from a very partisan Democrat. Be careful with the mandate word though. Traditionally, the electoral college margin needs to be wider for that kind of talk. Off the top of my head, I solid mandate would require 300 EC votes at a minimum.

Regardless if it is a mandate or not, Pres Bush seems ready to treat it like one. I think the quote was "I earned a lot of political capital, and now i plan to spend it. That's my style."

"It was close in Ohio."

Had it actually been close in Ohio, Kerry would have done a Gore. Kerry's best case scenario, if all the provisionals were valid and 100% were for him, he STILL wouldn't have been within striking distance.
