Note: I correctly predicted Obama's landslide, many months ago. Now, I predict that the stock market is poised to take off unless Double-you does something stupid again or shows up on the teevee and says something (by definition stupid).

That's not a landslide. THIS is a landslide: 1984. An appropriate map for these times.
That was Ronald Reagan in 1984. If Obama lives to run again, he's likely to take more than 40 states in 2012. If Lady Barracuda gets nominated, then you just might see a 49-state Obama landslide.
Very good. Reagan's win was a landslide. Obama's - not quite. Close, but not a landslide. This is another landslide. Goldwater's 1964 loss:

The bigheads on the TV say that the last Demo to get over 50% was Jimi Carter, so it was a pretty big feat. If N Carolina and Indiana fall under Obama, you'll see quite a significant difference in the electors count. Like I said, Obama could come close to Reagan's feat if he does well in his first 4 years. Reagan's 49-stater happened after his first term, not the first time he ran. Palin COULD help Obama do that if the stupid party nominates her.
And history tells us what a joy it was to have LBJ in office with such a "vote of confidence" from da' peepul. My Dem neighbors are always beating their chests about Darfuuuuuur. We need to do something about Darfuuurrrrr. And the conflict diamond trade in the Congooooo. And of course let's not forget that "beseiged" single democracy in the ME valiantly fighting for FREEDOM. With Rahm-bo Emmanuel as Chief of Staff and Dennis Ross as National Security Advisor to Barry O, it will certainly serve Izzy well in the future.
Talking about landslides, it looks like NBC just allocated INDIANA to O. North Carolina is likely to be Obama's too and McCain is only 300 votes ahead in Minnesota. He could lose that too. Obama is at 349 already, meaning that he's getting 150 more electoral votes than McCain already and he could increase the gap to over 200 by the time all votes are counted. That's a landslide by today's standards.
