Ah but it'll be treated like a mandate, that's what matters. Get used to the word, it's going to be used at every new outrage, it's the new addition the political lexicon. Syc, in the most people are going to look at say 'last time was a fluke, an electoral oddity, the american people saw what he did for 4 years and then the majority of them that voted, voted for him'. End of story. *I* know the story is a touch more complex but that is the opinion I hear and to a degree, it's fair enough. The fact that tons still couldn't be stuffed getting off their fat asses to vote is irrelevent.
