BTW, THESE were "Landslides":

(results in electoral votes)
Theodore Roosevelt over Alton Parker in 1904, 336-140.

The current electoral count stands at Obama 349, McCain 147. I have no data
on how many members of the House of Representatives have been added since
the T. Roosevelt administration.

That particular electoral total is a bit misleading on the surface.
Roosevelt got a lot wider margin in the popular vote percentage wise
and he got all but 12 states.




-Woodrow Wilson over Roosevelt and William Taft in 1912, 435-96.

-Warren Harding over James Cox in 1920, 404-127.

-Herbert Hoover over Alfred Smith in 1928, 444-87.

-Franklin Roosevelt in all four of his elections, with electoral votes
of 472, 523, 449 and 432.

-Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater in 1964, 486-52.

-Richard Nixon over George McGovern in 1972, 520-17.

-Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale in 1984, 525-13.

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said.
"We're saying that for America to get back on track,
we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you.
We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
