While many in the media continue worshiping Obama, proclaiming him the winner in a "landslide," it seems to me a little perspective is needed.
First of the Presidential elections in the last thirty six years (a cycle) by Electoral College Votes, Obama trails Reagan (84), Nixon (72), Reagan (80), Bush (88) Clinton (96) and Clinton (92), coming in seventh of ten elections.
Second, when we look are the margin of victory, he trails Nixon (72), Reagan (84), Reagan (80), Clinton (96) and Bush (88), coming in sixth of the ten elections over the past 36 years.
