He did a nice job...

2. The final totals are not in. It could be higher.

It was the strongest popular vote victory by a Democratic candidate since LBJ in 64. It was an electoral landslide. We also increased our Congressional lead for the second election in a row. But 'no mandate!' scream the chatterbox hyenas.

4. My heart just skipped a beat

Your thread title looked like a poll, and seeing another Obama vs. McCain poll was just too traumatic.

6. The talking heads will do just about anything to make it seem closer

They love the divided country theme. Makes things so much more dramatic for them.

8. I'm always amazed at how close American elections are. In canada we have

differences of 10 and 20% in the popular vote each election.
