Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Partisan Parsing of Election Results:

Isn't that funny how a 52-48 victory this week was "a 50-50 split, more or less", but a 51-49 victory in the 2004 election was a "mandate"? To all the world, spin, spin, spin.

No funnier than 43% being called a "majority" or "landslide" in '92.
