You're playing the reverse race card now? I did not vote for him for being black. I voted for him for his ability to inspire and what he's shown already of his ability to manage money within just the small box of his own campaign. He has wonderful oration skills whereas your girl Palin stutters and repeats things like a robot when being interviewed by Katie Couric.

Truly, stop crying already.

A landslide, in the context of the US presidential election, is loosely defined, these days, as a victory by more than 150 electoral votes.

Without NC (which'll probably go to Obama) and MO (which'll probably go McCain), the current electoral total is Obama 349, McCain 163.

Obama has more than double the electoral votes. (186 more.) That's a landslide.

Its funny how the pinkos love the electoral college when it works for them and the popular vote when it does not. There was no landslide in this election. A win no doubt, but landslide...no. A mudslide definitely.

Pinkos? Wow, pal.

Conventional wisdom is that a landslide is a 2/3 victory, and in the electoral college, that means this qualifies.

I didn't make this crap up.

Take a nap.

Sorry, I've had enough of the current "redneck" in office right now. I'm so glad that we have change. I want my President to be smarter than me.
