She thought it was too close to be a mandate. Especially given that the financial resources that Obama threw in, the low job rating that Bush had, the unpopularity of the war, it's the Republicans fault we had this fiance mess the margin should've been bigger. There were people who had predicted eight or more senate seats changing hands, thirty house seats (after all if you folks were getting a mandate Senator Franken and reps Madia and Tinkleberg will be eager to support what Obama is doing. To the rest of you who said USA was really off lets see they hit the winner on all four and compared with how national firms were really off with the national margin USA did better than the national pollsters did.

On Real Clear Politics, where they showed all the swing states, you would see a swing state with 9 polls favoring Obama, but always SUSA favoring McCain. And that was in several swing state compilations. Alec Lojasmo,

If you adjust the presidential numbers to reflect what everyone else is showing and the other races move accordingly then we'll be seeing Sen. Al Franken and Reps Ashwin Madia and El Tinklenberg in Congress in 2009. Actually, I think this is pretty good news.
