Hey, that one percent is like the quarter-inch on an airplane seat back.

It's ESSENTIAL.

I think I posted about this in my journal...

But anyways... I'm not so sure it's the percent that matters as much as the fact that:

A) Obama turned a bunch of red states blue
B) He won with 7 million votes more than McCain, whereas Bush only won with 3 million more than Kerry.

That, and Bush was a lot more popular in 2004 than he is in 2008, which is probably where the "united-ness" comes from.

And some other stuff like that :)

Why are people referring to it as a landslide? Because he got states like Ohio (first time a dem. did that), Florida, Indiana, etc.

I was comparing the 2000, 2004, and 2008 electoral maps the other day and it definitly looks like a landslide. Whether it actually is or not you could debate but why waste your time? a win is a win.

I'm suprised you haven't made any posts defending Sarah Palin (I think you liked her better than John Mccain hence why I'm supried).

Exactly... difficult to defend a person against what they clearly are.

Being right requires no defense.
