Because of the electoral college landslide, I vote yes, the popular vote is another matter and Perot's ability to get so many votes added to the confusion. The real point of this thread is that every election seems to be either a landslide or very close. Has anyone else ever noticed that? I took a quick look through history as far back as the first election.
1888 is probably the most interesting in one sense. One could say that it was both very close *and* a landslide, the popular vote was close but the electoral vote was not. Plus, the loser of the popular vote won the election.
