[Vision2020] Mandate shmandate

[Dan Carscallen]

Look at it another way, Carl.  I don't remember what the score was at
the last superbowl, But I know the Patriots won.  Nor do I remember the
scores of any of the games of the world series, but I do know the Red
Sox won.

And I don't remember how many votes George Washington got when he was
elected to his second term.  Heck, who ran against him?

A win is a win.

More than 122 million people voted in the November election.  62,028,719

voted for George W. Bush.  59,028,550 votes were cast for John Kerry.  
President Bush claims a mandate.  If I was watching Gonzaga play Duke
for 
the NCAA basketball championship (I can dream) and Gonzaga pulled out a 
62-59 win with a 3 shot point at the buzzer, I wouldn't be claiming a 
decisive win for the Bulldogs.  Where, exactly, as we are poised for the

opulent inauguration tomorrow, is the mandate?
