For a two person race:
300+ = mandate
400+ = landslide
500+ = Atlantis size landslide

I count 1996 as a Clinton mandate as even if Perot's voters had split 3 to 1 in favor of Dole, Clinton would still have gotten 348 EV.

1992 wasn't a mandate for anyone, as with even a more modest 2 to 1 split Clinton would have lost to Bush with only 264 EV.

1988 and 1984 were landslides, with 1984 of Atlantean proportions.

So was 1980.  After all, even if every single Anderson voter had cast their vote for Carter instead (which would never have happened) Reagan still would have gotten 331 EV, and with a more reasonable 3 to 1 split, Reagan gets 408 EV's
