The Mandate Grows

Several readers have pointed out that as the vote-counting process is completed, President Bush’s margin of victory continues to grow. His popular vote advantage is now 52% to 47%, and he won by a whopping 4.7 million votes! The election wasn’t close after all.
CORRECTION: Oops, never mind. I’m not sure just where the error was made, but the Yahoo and CNN figures are back to 51% to 48%. Which, of course, is plenty.
