Big mandate. (heavy sarcasm.) > ^^^^^^^^^^^ Less than 50% of all registered voters turned out to vote. And I don't even know what the percentage of registered voters is to those eligible to be registered. It's pointless to argue about "what the people want". Here's some numbers according to http://www.cbsnews.com Clinton: 45,628,667 49.94% 379 electoral votes Dole: 37,869,435 41.45% 159 electoral votes Perot: 7,874,283 8.62% 0 electoral votes House of Representatives: 104th: Democrats: 198 Republicans: 236 Independents: 1 105th: Democrats: 194 Republicans: 217 Undecided: 22 Senate: 104th: Democrats: 47 Republicans: 53 Independents: 0 105th: Democrats: 45 Republicans: 55 Independents: 0 David Lyons http://g50mc.org/members/lyonsd
