It is interesting to see the Electoral College do its traditional job of "inflating" popular vote margins.
PV: Obama 51 McCain 48
EV Obama 367 McCain 170 (I add MO and AK to McCain, and Obama the rest), which is a 68-32 blowout.
In that regard, this election was like an inverse 1988.
It's still too early to say exactly what the national popular vote margin will be. There are still a lot of votes to be counted on the west coast.
True, but the principle still stands. In any case, Obama will see an EV landslide even as he outpaces McCain by about 4 million votes nationally, the bulk of which comes from CA and NY.
