Was 1988 a landslide?

I vote no. Bush I didn't even pass 53.5%. Hardly landslide numbers.

Plus if you use the argument frequently used by Reaganfan and Philip that the land area of counties won is more important than number of votes, Dukakis did better than Kerry and Gore.

you said once to rebuke a population proportional map "if population was even remotely relevant this might actually mean something"

Well most agree with me.

I think people who do think of it as a landslide have a tendency to just because Bush won California. That doesn't take into account that demographics in California were rather different then and he wouldn't be able to win it today.
