I guess I would consider a landslide winning by at least 10% in the popular vote and winning at least 400 EVs. By this measure the following elections since 1932 have been landslides:
1932, 1936, 1952, 1956, 1964, 1972, & 1984
The following elections were comfortable victories, but not quite landslides IMHO:
1940, 1944, 1980, 1988, 1992, & 1996
The following elections were close:
1948, 1960, 1968, 1976, 2000, & 2004
IMHO this year will fall into the comfortable victory category, with Obama winning by 5 - 6% in the popular vote and winning somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 EVs. The election will officially be called at about 11:00 p.m. EST when the polls out west close. Of course I could be wrong and McCain may pull off an improbable comeback. I hope not, but we'll see.
