With a greatly increased turnout as a percentage of voters, Bush won by a greater margin than any president in over a decade.

The Bush margin of victory is a higher quality win than the 2000 election.

While not a Reagan landslide, this is a significant win.

Huge margin, plus gains in house and senate means Bush does indeed have a governing mandate.

That makes a helluva lot more sense that "Red states rock!", which makes you sound like a sports fan.
