It's Already Begun, No Decency Whatsoever

Here's what a mandate looks like to Republicans.

286 Electoral Votes, +3.5 million popular vote- Bush 2004

Here's what "got no mandate" the country is "divided" won by the "skin of his teeth" looks like to Republicans.

332 Electoral Votes, +2.9 million popular vote (with votes still being counted)- Obama 2012

No doubt they are truly insane.  Also, there's no doubt Obama's popular vote totals will continue to grow as the days go on.  There are still millions of votes left uncounted from overseas, absentees and other set-aside ballots that get counted last.  There's no doubt he'll reach +3.5 million plurality on the popular vote, which was more than enough in 2004 to be a huge mandate for George W. Bush.
