Default A Promise Kept

W said he was a uniter. However, because of his war and many other
issues, the country was greatly divided. It didn't seem like he would be
able to keep his promise to unite the country.

However, he finally did keep his promise.

* He united the country to put Obama in office in a *landslide*.

* He united the country to give the Republican Party its biggest
spanking in history.

Truly and sincerely, Heck of a job, Georgie!

I wouldn't call it a "landslide". A solid majority yes, but not a
landslide. A true landslide was Reagan's 1984 win. 49 states. The only
state to go Democratic was Mondale's home state of Minnesota, which he
barely won.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._pr...election,_1984

Or Nixon's in 1972.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...election,_1972

These are true landslides.

Carrying 29 states and winning by a 5% margin is not my idea of a landslide.

Your calling 6% more votes a landslide?
Perhaps you need to refer to the definition of the term "landslide".
27 states do not a "landslide" make.
Obama got a million more votes than Bush did in 04.
And you all said then that Bush had nowhere near enough popular vote
to have a mandate.
So you're saying that the left lied then?

BTW, THESE were "Landslides":

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

-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.

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.

I was referring to the electoral votes, which as you know, is how
presidents are elected.

Obama (364) to McCain (162)*. Some would call this a landslide. Your
mileage may vary.

An electoral landslide is 525 to 13 (Reagan over Mondale).

Obama (364) to McCain (162)*. Some would call this a landslide. Your
mileage may vary.


Some would call Obama a "Marxist". Your mileage may vary. See how easy
that is?

You can say a rock is a tree. Calling a rock a tree does not make it a
tree.

This election was not a landslide, unless we are redefining "landslide" to
mean "win".

Your repeating this does not make it true.
