Demagogue

The whole does-he-have-a-mandate thingy never interested me. It happens every four years, and it's pointless in any case; presidents will do their best to accomplish as much of their agenda as possible, no matter whether they barely scraped through or carried 49 states.

For those who do care, you might want to trade in your "51% isn't a mandate" T-shirt for a newer model now that the counting is done; Dubya ended up with a little over 50.7%. I know that rounds up to 51%, but if you're going to make a point of how close he was to falling short of a majority (again), fifty-point-something has a more skin-of-the-teeth feel to it.
