Re: Bush\'s \"Mandate\"
All the mandate Bush needs is in the Constitution.
Reagan in 84 had a mandate to govern with 59%.
Clinton in 92 had a mandate to govern with 43%.
Bush in 04 has a mandate to govern with 51%.
The mandate comes from an electoral college majority as dictated by the Constitution.
It's our form of government that gives the mandate, not statistical trivia.
