The landslide has also gotten bigger every time.  Bush or Kerry would need to win every EV but 12 or less.  I don't see that happening.

The pattern (2 R, 2 D) requires it to be a Bush landslide.

A landslide is possible, but unlikely.  I think the trend was a 20th Centruy thing and is over now.

Only if you measure by the number of states. By the popular vote 1964 totally beat 1984. And anyways, 1944 was the smallest landslide in decades.

I don't think that electoral votes should be the only thing you look at when determining a landslide. What if you only barely won all the states you won?
