Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that's treated the same as if you win by 50%. "You barely won, here's the same mandate as someone who won soundly"

Probably a bad idea, but there's an idea in there that isn't dumb.

Compared to a lot of what I've been seeing, Camacho isn't looking half bad right now.
