[maddowfan]

What's it now? It keeps changing.

Also, when was the last time a president got the popular vote % that he has gotten with this election?

[mikiturner]

1. It's about 52.5 to 46.5

Give or take. It'll change a couple of tenths of a percent either way.

2. 53%

The last time anyone got that much was Bush I in 1988.... 54%

5. So, the "greatest liberal in the Senate "has won the biggest victory

of any candidate in 20 years. Clinton won more electoral votes but never cracked 50% of the vote.

7. Jimmy Carter got 52% of the popular vote in 1976, but he

only got 297 electoral votes. And he got that by sweeping the south, every southern state except Virginia.
