Once Bush got the Miers' nomination fiasco behind him, most of his base

nothing.

He owes nothing to the other 49% that pay his salary? Interesting.

They don't like and and most likely never will. Why try to please them?


As long as those who elected him in '04 continue to support him, he has
his mandate.

Well then, I guess he doesn't have his mandate, does he? Seems he has
lost some 10% of those who elected him.

Just what is the definition of a mandate? Is it a plurality? Is it a
majority?
