| 4. would over 7,000,000 people be considered a mandate? |
|
And amazing how we can do it without preventing other Americans from voting!
Now we need to tackle this equal rights issue.

| 8. That was more than enough for Bushler to claim a mandate |
|
and given that we increased our dominance of the House and Senate, I don't see how it can be disputed.

| 9. 6-7%. That is a mandate! |
|
If Bush :puke: could claim a mandate even though he lost the popular vote, then Obama can
most certainly claim a mandate seeing that he won the popular vote and received an outright
majority of the vote.

| 10. Obama won with 63 million. Bush won with 62 million last time. HEHEHE |
|
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 02:05 PM by mistertrickster
And check the turn out:
Obama 63 million + McCain 56 million = 119 million
Bush 62 million + Kerry 59 million = 121 million
Oops, corrected addition error. In the process I noticed, hey, wasn't this supposed to be a "record turn out" year?
