When is a Mandate Not a Mandate?

In 2004, Bush got 286 electoral votes, won by 3.6 million votes and had a 4% margin of victory in the popular vote.

The "conservatives" proclaimed that as a mandate.

In 2008, Obama got at least 349 electoral votes, won by 7.6 million votes and had a 7% margin of victory.

Bet your ass that the conservatives are now falling over themselves to proclaim that Obama does not have a mandate.

So, in a variation on the old rule: It's Only a Mandate When Republicans Win.
