This is a screamer:

Obama bested John McCain 365-173 and Bill Clinton's two victories were in the same range. George W. Bush's two electoral college victories were narrow; he won just 271 votes in the disputed election of 2000 and 286 in his 2004 reelection.

So 0bama's electoral margin was 192 - and former-President Bush's margins were 271 and 286 ... say, exactly who had a greater margin of victory?

Obama did electorally

Bush only had a 6 electoral vote victory in 2000, and I think 26 in 2004?

Meanwhile Obama pretty much doubled up McCain
