Given the current split (a clear Dem majority, but well-short of fillibuster-proof) I figure that they’ll kick Joe Lieberman out of the caucus. Joe will probably put an “R” behind his name.
OK with the percentages but wasn’t the difference just like 6 million votes - 63 million for the messiah and 57 for McCain?
FYI (not a landslide...aka tsunami) ;)
“More generally, the picture is of a solid Democratic win, but not the tsunami some had expected. Obama won the popular vote by a solid, but not crushing, margin of slightly less than six percent (52.4-46.5). Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole by a significantly greater margin and even greater relative percentage (49.25-40.71), and George Bush by a slightly lower margin, but higher relative percentage (43.01-37.45). Bush, meanwhile, beat Dukakis by a larger margin, 53.4 to 45.6. The Democrats picked up about twenty House seats, on the low end of the expected range. And, as noted above, they seem likely to pick up five or six Senate seats,which would make the Senate races either 18-16 in favor of the Democrats, or tied at 17-17, again on the low end of the expected range.”
I dunno. 349 electoral votes looks a lot like a landslide to me, but I may be misguided.
65 million Americans said “no-keep the change” to Hussein.....

Get the drift?
Rationalizers annoy me.
Just Wait A Few More Days . . .
Reverberations take time. 'Nuff said by me here on FR.
