Re: [QUAD-L] election

Wasn't this the biggest turn out in history for voting?  I'm pretty sure I saw that one one the news. I could be wrong but it was something like 60 or 61 percent and in the past it was below 50%.  I am not sure exactly on the numbers, but I am pretty confident in saying that this was the biggest turn out so yea, ok Bush had more people vote for him than anyone else in history.

And, given that huge turnout resulted in a 51-49% divide, one would be hard pressed to find anyone who could honestly call that a "Mandate" for the Christian or traditional or moral values Mr. Bush holds dear.  Everyone believe their values are moral.  That's why they value them.
