If everybody in this country were to vote for who they really thought best for this country (see above), that would be a mandate.
Congress would have to see the writing on the wall.

I just do not think that it would make much difference if "everybody in this country were to vote for who they really thought best for this country" I cannot see any of the peolple who have voted for Bush would ever decide that Kucinich or Nader wsa "really best for the country." And of the people who did not vot for Bush, only maybe 50% would ever vote for either kucinich or nader (IMO)
So in your method, I do not know who would be president, only that it would not be nader or kucinich. And in that case, what you have would look like what we have today... or worse. At least that is what I think
Obama campaigned from the middle.
And the middle is what he is doing.
Congress is reacting to that.

I do not think where Obama campaigned from has any impact at all on the congress.... certainly not on the republicans.... and the blue dog democrats don't seem to care much what Oabam thinks either.
