Since when is 10% a "narrow majority" on anything?
In Marxixst "journalist" argot 10% equals a "narrow majority" when it opposes statism. On the other hand that same 10% would be read as "a clear and convincing mandate" if it supported statism...

The same paper said that the 7% win in the Presidential Election was a landslide and mandate. It all has to with the new math, 7% is far greater than 10% or so the Washington Post Says.
Its a narrow majority because its 53%, which is only 3% above the bare majority, which is narrow. The key word is majority. For example, if it was 49% against, 39% for, that’s not a majority, even though its 10% more opposed to for.
Of course 10@ is a landslide.
Correct.
Obama beat McCain by about 4% of the popular vote and they called it a “mandate”, which, I’m led to believe, is just shy of a “landslide”.
