Ted, Clinton won the popular vote in both elections; Bush did not. Big difference! No, the difference is irrelevant. There is no point in squabbling over how many votes the winner got and basing that off of some "mandate" to lead. Every president in American history won that mandate through the Constitutional system of electoral votes. If you don't think that's enough to grant a mandate to lead, you should call for a constitutional amendment which limits the power of presidents that don't win the popular or majority vote.
