[Luddly Neddite]

Final Tally Shows Obama First Since

Barack Obama is the first president in more than five decades to win at least 51 percent of the national popular vote twice, according to a revised vote count in New York eight weeks after the Nov. 6 election.

rw's have said President Obama does not have a mandate. That's wishful thinking on their part.

As I recall the left wingers said Bush did not have a mandate in 2004 so why are they now claiming Obama does?

?

Reagan got 50.7% in 1980.

The bottom line is this was a close race from the popular vote standing and the House and Senate stayed under the control of the party that had them going in what you got was a status quo vote not a mandate for either party.

So then 2004 was not a mandate either?

"Stupid and vain and false, shallow boob, thy name is bripat."

50.7% in 1980 and 58.7% in 1984.

You lie just like you did in the Cuba thread about how the peasantry and the urban poor were not suffering terribly in 1958. You used cherry picked very questionable sources from WHO while I used quotes from the right to the center to the left.

This election was a resounding defeat for the Republicans. They lost the popular vote for the Presidency AND for both houses of Congress. If not for extreme gerrymandering they would not control any of the 3 branches of the federal government.

In short, the election results were as bad as they could conceivably get for Republicans. This is especially true because of the extreme effort of the Republicans to oust President Obama - an EPIC FAILURE!

If this was not a mandate of the Democrats, it was at least a solid vote of confidence.

It was also a VERY clear statement that MAJORITY of the American people disapprove of the Republicans. It was all but a total reprimand of the TEA Party.

So it seems that there was a clear mandate by the American people - a mandate for the Republicans to STFU and cooperate with the Democrats.
