Obama: 52.5%
McCain: 46.2%

In recent history, this is a very large spread for a popular vote.
Electoral college:

Obama: 364
McCain: 162

Obama received more than twice as many electoral college votes as McCain.

If this isn't a mandate I'm not sure what is.

In 2000, George Bush lost the popular vote, and barely won the electoral.

In 2004 George Bush won the popular, but barely won the electoral.

McCain still did well collecting 42 million votes I think. Everyone knew this is going to be tough one, with people crying change.
Its pyschological -- people don't stay on top for long. Take sex for example, you climax and then anticlimax. Rove knew it and predicted Obama victory.

Whats noticeable is that there wasn't enough turnout of people in this election compared to 2000. That tells me this country does not trust politicians.

The liberal media stole this election.

And I am not going to watch msnbc, cnn, abc news etc in protest.

Some foolish news reporters, Powell and Maddock (nbc) whats that beeche's name on the Olberman show , etc were so unprofessional when they cried on camera. They are reporters and not supposed to feel while reporting lest they be called biased. Gosh - I felt like slapping them. Ignorant bums. Another liberals trait is that they like people to watch them while they are having sex Should I cut paste all my jokes on liberals , and add some more insights to it?

Whats this about sex climax and anti climax?

I agree that the media was totally liberally biased this time, and I also am skeptical of Obama, but I am willing to give him a chance.

I think what I fear more than anything is big brother scenarios and expansion of the govts power, we saw a lot of expansion of the power of the executive office, and the feds in general under Bush (expansion of VP powers, patriot act, no child left behind, not to mention this 700 billion dollar socialist bailout etc.)

On sex which is off topic but was trying to make a point on cycles of nature and correlating that with peoples psyches -- During sex, your whole body climaxes , reaches a peak and then anti climaxes. Watch it every time. If you are attentive you will meet Universe in that peak moment.
That is why the west craves for more sex because they know that at peaks they feel something different that cannot be explained in words and they crave for it. But unfortunately it is short lived. A mystic knows the art of sustaining that peak experience -- too hard to explain.

If you have points on your driving system it is an indication of your driving behavior. Obama's records were not that great on the factors that i was looking for like (too much wastefull government spending on unnecessry programs, high taxation that punishes enterpreneurs and businesses impacting individuals also in the end, etc etc...) But I am still willing to give him a chance because he promised to listen to us.
