A Little Perspective, Please!

I'd call it a very comfortable victory, not a landslide. I'm not even sure if I'd call Clinton '96 or Bush '88 landslides.

Johnson '64, Nixon '72, Reagan '84... now those are REAL landslides... if we are only to concern ourselves with the Presidential level anyway.

I would consider 364 electoral votes in todays america a mini -landslide.

Bush had all the "moral" backing and ideals in 2000 and 2004, but only was able ink out a small win ( 2000 he didn't even win), kinda sad considering this is supposed to be a "center- right" country.

Anything over 350Ev for a democrat is a landslide in my book.

You think Democrats should get their own special land-slide definition because they have such a hard time?

I do not agree.

Yes, in this current climate.

 I could see Obama winning 450EVs over someone like Palin, however Obama would have to have ratings in the 55-60% range or so.

To see the first ever black candidate win 364 Ev and 52% in my book is  "mini" - Landslide.

When you consider all the factors for this election.

Updated!

So Obama must have won NE-3?

53% of the vote is pretty damn good for the first ever black candidate.
