Um, you might want to really review the numbers - it was hardly "a
landslide."


I think I said 6% or so popular vote edge, EV would be a landslide, which is
defined as a plus-125 or better margin.
Damned close, actually......

Hey, anyone can define "landslide" as they choose because there is no
real definition, but the numbers simply aren't in the range and
distribution to indicate what most objective observers would call "a
landslide" or even "a mandate." By all means, it was a clear victory,
which is a very good thing, but I'd not get carried away.
