I wouldn't call it a "landslide". A solid majority yes, but not a
landslide. A true landslide was Reagan's 1984 win. 49 states.
The only state to go Democratic was Mondale's home state of
Minnesota, which he barely won.

Or Nixon's in 1972.

These are true landslides.
Carrying 29 states and winning by a 5% margin is not my idea of a
landslide.
I was referring to the electoral votes, which as you know, is how
presidents are elected.

Obama (364) to McCain (162)*. Some would call this a landslide. Your
mileage may vary.
Some would call Obama a "Marxist".
But then, they would probably be called kooktards.
SNIP
He is a marxist you twit.
