When did 51% become a "broad nationwide victory"? bush; still stupid...

[LynnTheDem]

Still a divider.

From bush's comments today: "We've worked hard and gained many new friends, and the result is now clear -- a record voter turnout and a broad, nationwide victory."

This is the touchstone and the sign. A 'broad, nationwide victory'? He must be kidding. Our system is majority rule. And 51% is a win. But he's claiming a mandate.

"A broad, nationwide victory"???

It would almost be comical if it weren't for the seriousness of what it portends. This election cut the nation in two.

A single percentage point over 50% is not "broad".

A victory that carried no states in the Northeast, close to none in the Industrial midwest is not "nationwide", and none on the west coast is not "nationwide".

And losing the popular vote in the west, in the north, and in the east is not "a broad nationwide victory".

And yet he plans to use this narrow victory as though it were a broad mandate, starting right back with the same strategy that has already come near to tearing this country apart.
