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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._pr...election,_1984 Or Nixon's in 1972. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...election,_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. *Approximate figures as of 11/06/08 from: http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/dashboard Telamon wrote: It's not right to look at electoral votes this way using words like landslide. And why not, pray tell? Electoral votes are -exactly- what is used to determine the winner. SNIP OK, it is yet another concept beyond your ken then. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
