There is no such as a mandate. Its whatever you are able to get through the House and Senate regardless of what the popular vote is. I don't think there is any correlation between the popular vote and ability to get legislation thru the congress.

MO though... anyone winning by just ONE state (especially* in an election cycle when there was no big vote-drawing third party effort to siphon-off votes) ain't got a 'mandate'.* I would guess picking up more seats in the Senate and House could be included in that mandate. The winners ran their races on Bush and his policies. BTW I am still trying to figure out if you're a libertarian or a democrat. You say you're libertarian, but the ones I work with tend to hate both parties. I can't remember ever seeing you bash a socialist or their philosophy/ideas...Just curious.
