The old thread is nearing 1000 posts, so let's start anew.
House Democrats got more votes than House Republicans. Yet Boehner says he’s got a mandate?
It appears that Democratic candidates for the House actually got more votes than Republican candidates, but, partially because 2010 was such a strong year for the GOP, Republicans got away with absolutely ridiculous gerrymandering and won the House off of that. Does Boehner really deserve to talk about a mandate?
