I remember when Clinton got re-elected and everyone was saying he had a mandate. But he didn't even get 49% of the vote.

You must remember that to libs, "Mandate", not unlike The Constitution, has a living, breathing definition.

It was worse BS in 1992 when they were yelling "Landslide!" when he got 43% of the vote.

In a year with barely 50% turnout. W got 51% in a year with 60% turnout. Thats about 5.5 percent more support from the voting age population.
