USA Today published this election map showing who won each county in the country. Look at this, then try to tell me there wasn't a mandate.
This is exactly why we need to keep the electoral college. If we were to go strictly on a popular vote, the election would be decided by four or five states, and the rest would be meaningless. Do you want to be told who is going to govern your country by New York and California? I don't.

Um, isn't the election already dependent on 4 or 5 states? That's why we had to wait on Ohio last night.
Not really. Before Ohio was declared for Bush, Nevada with their 7 votes was declared for him. That put him over the top officially.
