One inaccuracy on your part.  Cuomo throughout his tenure as Govenor of NY has
CUT taxes more than he has raised them.  The tax structure in NY was inherited 
from Republican administrations.  Perhaps thats why he has been re-elected 
three times.  And didn't Dinkins just lower business property taxes?

 Sounds like you're making the guy's point for him better than even he could.
 As an alleged left-wing Communist scum I seem to recall the sayng "Patriotism

Yes, Richard Nixon received only 44% of the popular vote in 1968.
Reagan received a majority in 1980, but barely.  (50.7%)  JFK did
not get a majority either.  It's actually very common when a strong
3rd candidate is in the race.  

There are a few positives for Clinton:

1) According to polls, he would have received 53% of the popular
vote if Perot hadn't been in the race

2) His support was strong in all regions of the country


>It would seem to me that Mr Clinton will have a problem in that he does
>not come to Washington with a mandate to govern. ( comments )

A "mandate" is what you make it.  Not getting a majority did not
bother Wilson, JFK, or Nixon.
