Right, Mr. Spinmeister.........
Do you dispute that Lincoln received 59.4% of the electoral votes
Get off it. You were trying to use your lame argument to dispute the Judge's use of the popular vote to demonstrate just how unpopular Lincoln was.
Cowboyway, you give a whole new meaning to the term 'different'.
If that means different from you then that is a very good thing, indeed.
Point out where I ever claimed to be a great scholar. Show me the exact quote from me claiming that. Do it or STFU.
Every one of your post exhibits a certain pomposity and arrogance that is very typical of the snobby elitist. Take a look at Obama and you will see Non-Sequitur.
George Bush took 50.73% of the popular vote in 2004, Ronald Reagan took 50.75% in 1980.
51% of the popular vote is not a mandate because it means that 49% of the people were against you.
Reagan's 1984 victory would be a better example of a mandate when he got almost 60% of the popular vote.
There is no way to argue that 39% of the popular vote represents a political mandate by any candidate regardless of how you try to represent the electoral college.
If I'm Mr. Spinmeister then you're the Spinmeister King.

No, just pointing out how stupid your claim is. Douglas and Breckenridge were on the ballot in all the states, Lincoln was kept off the ballot in 9 and he still polled a higher percentage of the popular vote than either man. And it is still an indisputable fact that had Lincoln had a single opponent instead of three then he still would have won. And all the spin you and Judge Napolitano care to put on it won't change that.

I mean different from humans in general.

So you're saying that neither Bush or Reagan had a mandate? Just to be clear.
