And how much did Bush have before he became president?

He didn't win on national security in 2000.

As a matter of fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bush win because of his foreign policy stance when he campaigned? You know, no nation building and the sort?

Obama becomes the first presidential candidate since 1964 who gets more than 80% of the vote in a state (Hawaii).

And Obama became the first Democratic President to win every state within his region, the Midwest. Clinton couldn't do it, Carter couldn't do it, LBJ couldn't do it. Hell, I don't think Roosevelt even won all the states within his region. Now, for your information, I'm using the U.S. Census regions as a legend here.

If you consider Roosevelt was from the Northeast then you're right.
Vermont and Maine never voted for him.

You could say that Wilson managed to carry every state of his native South.
But then again, he ran as Governor of New Jersey.

OK, let me make myself clear. Obama has been the only Democrat to win every state in a region he represents. Now, if we're talking about winning every state in a region where he was born, then that's a different point.
