I say the congressional elections are irrelevant when talking about a landslide.  Congressional elections should only really be included when determining a realigning election, not a landslide.
400+ electoral votes and a 10 point margin with a popular vote over 50% is a decent standard to go by.  1984 was a landslide, but not necessarily a realigning election in the way 1932 was even though 1932 was also a landslide
