The vote was 53 to 47. Seven short of the 60 needed. "Soundly

indeed.


ROTFLMAO........if memory serves me well, a national vote decided by
the same percentage, just thirteen months ago, was a "Rout!" a
"Mandate" a "Total Repudiation of Moderates and Liberals".........
"Vindication for Bush, Limbaugh, and the Conservative Agenda," "An
overhwelming stamp of approval for the war in Iraq"......... yada,
yada, yada

funny how standards change, :-)


Yeah, imagine anyone winning by a mere 3.5 million votes calling it a
rout.
LOL!



Of course the liebrals called clinton's victory with less than 50% of the
vote a "mandate"

LMAO
