If you only go with an arithmetic calculation, 51% and 286 Electoral Votes alone won't get you a mandate. The standard has to be a campaign with ideological clarity. That is what Bush had, and that is what gives his victory a mandate.

I strongly disagree. Reagan's stances were more than well known, so ideological clarity was there in spades.
