I imagine this response was supposed to be sarcastic, though it's really hard to tell in print. That said, I'll second it.

Obama won 47% of Orange County, CA in 2008... if Obama achieves anything close to a landslide, Orange County will probably vote for him.

And how much did Bush have before he became president?

He didn't win on national security in 2000.

As a matter of fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bush win because of his foreign policy stance when he campaigned? You know, no nation building and the sort?

I think that was part of his campaign, but I don't recall it being an overarching theme like in 2004.  Also, I don't think he tied his "no nation-building" stance to national security, as national security wasn't really on anyone's minds at the time.  I could be wrong though. 

You're not wrong... Bush did talk about "no nation building", but that was more of a code word for "no internationalism"... his campaign was really centered around "compassionate conservatism" and massive tax cuts.


Lunar, did you ever know that your my hero?
