A Mandate?
a 50% win isn't a mandate. Is it?
You can live a better life or a bitter life.....it's your choice
No, despite Bush's claims to
No, despite Bush's claims to the contrary in 2004. How's that working out for you? Or America?
Heh.
Hope takes flight... Mandates are still legal in Tennessee, no matter what Amendment One and the Rhea County Government might say.
Oh, wait..................

BriansBlog:50% isn't a mandate
BriansBlog knows his Mandates.
More than 50%
When you add all the votes for congress nationwide for Democrats and Republicans, the Dems received like 55% of the vote to less than 45% for GOPers, and independents getting the rest. The vote was strongly Democratic. The Senate was very similar.
Sounds like a mandate to me! And I said that to a VP at my company who is conservative Republican. She laughed.
