"He did not get a mandate like Reagan or Clinton got for their second term."

LOL! Clinton mandate? He never received a full 50% of the
popular vote. Spin a yarn for me how, once upon a time,
Clinton had a mandate (now womandate, he had a plenty <gg>).

And I don't care what Arlen Spector had to say. He doesn't
represent me or the rest of America, particularly the 59+
million folks how gave Bush a mandate.

"Contrary to press accounts, I did not warn the president about anything" .... Specter said in a statement.... - Washington Post - Friday, November 5, 2004; Page A05

Now, let's see. Bush wins with more than 51.52% of the
popular vote, which Clinton never came close to achieving.
Bush received more votes than any president in history. Now
Bush's margin of victory was not quite as wide as Reagan's,
but then Bush may have faced the most vicious slander,
propaganda, outright fraud & smear jobs from the MSM & the
opposition party in history.

Bush's opposition had billionaires spending untold millions
to pay people to register hundreds of thousands of people
under suspicious & frequently illegal circumstances. Their
millions went to create false & misleading ads & even more
millions went to negatively affect financial markets. Clinton
& Reagan didn't have to face that.

Bush had to to face a full frontal assault of outrageous lies
& slime from the Michael Moore types & the hollywood elite.
Bush & Reagan didn't.

Bottom line. America sent a powerful message on Tuesday
despite one of the worst & most widely publicized smear &
sneer jobs in history.

If you can't see the mandate, you aren't looking hard enough.
