THE SECOND TERM

America's Choice
Can Bush reshape policy and politics like Lincoln and FDR did?

We have just come through a historic election. In 1864, a year of hundreds of thousands of Union casualties, voters in the 25 of 36 states that voted that year re-elected Abraham Lincoln by a popular vote margin of 55% to 45%. In 1944, another year of hundreds of thousands of American casualties, voters in 48 states re-elected Franklin D. Roosevelt by a partisan majority of 53% to 46%. The margin would have been greater if URL:Republicans and Southern Democrats in Congress had acted to enable millions of servicemen to vote. This year, after two years in which we have suffered a thousand deaths and several thousand injuries, Americans voted by what now appears to be a 51% to 48% majority for George W. Bush. That majority may be increased if the military votes are counted, contrary to what Democrats attempted to do in Florida in 2000 and what Pennsylvania's Gov. Ed Rendell has been doing this year.
