Ha, I don’t understand, Bush won the electoral college by one state, what is your definition of handily.
1988
1984
1972
1996
1964
1956
Those are examples of winning handily.
2004 was a very close election.
You gave examples of landslides. Might as well cite the elections of Washington and Monroe while you’re at it, just to further skew the numbers.
Bush won by 3% in the popular vote and by 34 electoral votes. Given the fraud and the money spent by Kerry and other interested groups, Bush won handily. Certainly he crushed Kerry compared to the 2000 election.
