Bush's people were miles smarter than the Dems in how they ran the campaign, but their success isn't a mandate. A mandate is when the overwhelming majority of all voters vote for you. That did not happen here.

Frankly, I'm uncomfortable with anyone claiming a mandate on anything more concrete than, say, "we think terrorism is bad."
