Default Can you say " Landslide " boys & girls?

The people have spoken.

In a very loud voice!

The " Joe Sixpacks and Joe the Plumbers " of America saw through

the travesty that was Sarah Palin and John McCain.

What a great victory!

Now let's go paint this town BLUE!

Larger states went Obama, so electorial wise, yes, overall popular vote, you obviously do not know the definition of landslide....

I also guess your mom didn't teach you, you don't bring yourself or anyone else up by putting others down???\\\

Are you gonna cry?

Popular vote is irrelevant and you know it. If it was, we wouldn't have Bush as our president in the first place.

75 Days 7 Hours and 58 Minutes and I can't wait.

If you wish to see an electoral landslide, refer to Reagan's 1984 victory over Mondale. Reagan won 49 out of 50 states, and was less than 4,000 votes in Minnesota from winning all 50 states. 525 electoral votes, that is a landslide.

I suggest a dictionary purchase. And a history textbook.

Default Whatever

I am not going to fight over a definition of " landslide "! LOL!

He won by a heck of a lot! How's that? Better???

But you better tell the boys on television because they called it

a landslide too!

As far as tearing people down, the republicans tried that tactic a lot.

Yeah. Did'nt work.

I was merely pointing out that the nation rejected McCain/Palin.

So my conservative friends, try to nitpick the result all you care to,

but the bottom line is he kicked your butts! He turned states from Red

to Blue!

They were talking on the radio that anything over 300 electoral votes is considered a landslide.

I think a more important thing to look at is the fact that Obama had over twice the amount of electoral votes as McCain did...349 vs 163. That's pretty huge.

As for the popular vote, Obama won by 7% or 7.5 Million votes.
