Compared to the last 2 elections it wasnt that close but it was hardly a runaway from an electoral standpoint. In 1988 GH Bush won the EC vote 411 to 111, in 1984 Reagan won the EC vote 525 to 13, in 1980 he won 489 to 49, in 1972 Nixon won 520 to 17, in 1964 Johnson won 486 to 52. Those are epic stompings. How do you expect us to educate Scavs on elections and the political system if you keep giving him hyperbole instead of truth?

All true. But tell me when a candidate from the same party as the sitting president lost this bad? I dont think its happened.

For a race that was supposed to be close, this was indeed emphatic.
