“Obama tsunami”

I stopped reading there.

The left is trying to brand this as a Reagan-Carter type of landslide. It wasn't McCain got more votes than Clinton did.

58 million voted against Obama.

Why does the left think that conservatives will take advice on how to change the GOP from leftists who would rather see us locked up in jail than winning elections?

McCain got more votes than Clinton did.

58 million voted against Obama.

That is as silly as saying McCain won more counties, but Obama only won the big cities.

They are meaningless grasps at numbers. Sixteen years separated Clinton's first win in 1992 and McCain's loss in 2008. The population has changed by several tens-of-millions during that time. And the demographics (city, suburb, rural) have changed, as well.

There is only one number that, according to The Constitution, counts, and that is the Electoral Vote. And like it or not, Obama won that big-time over McCain (365 to 173).

Gore won the majority vote in 2000, but Bush became president -- because the Electoral Vote is the one that they count.
