Looks like Obama ended up destroying McCain with 7 million more votes in the Popular vote and a 349 - 163 in the electoral college (waiting on MO and NC). Just makes me laugh how people were freaking out, thinking McCain would pull off the upset after about 15 mins into the process last night...and people also though McCain may pull out the popular vote too. Good times :P

As for this whole "landslide" thing:  electorals were, yes, a "landslide"...but then again, you don't really get to control the amount of electorals are in each state, now do ya?  SOOO...I wouldn't base a landslide off of electorals.

And if you go by the pop vote, there was no landslide to that.

Therefore, I would say what most Americans would say:  this was a very close battle.

And if you say otherwise...then you are no better than someone claiming that PS3 is the best console over 360...or that 360 is the best over PS3...or that Wii is the best over both...or anything else.

And a lot of shit that I've seen in this thread makes me regret that some of you are of voting age, because the immaturity you showed in your "celebrations" and "responses" will cause the future of this country to flounder and fail.
"
Stop being a sore loser and grow up. Celebrations will in no way cause this country to fail. And it's not your place to regret that anybody is of voting age.

Yeah, I'm not expecting it to work. To be more detailed, Thanatos, your candidate won, yet you are acting as if he lost.  We understand you are happy. Yes, you're not the only one, but you are the most prominent among the flamers. Just remember, no matter what they say, if they are U.S. citizens, Obama is their president, and they can't change that.

On topic, I must say I find news about Obama's plans so far surprising. Clinton and Bush both had cabinets that, in Clinton's words "reflected the American people." Both presidents had diverse cabinets, with women and minorities filling key positions. So far, Obama's likely candidates are all white guys.

I'm so damn happy. I watched every second of the election in Manhattan and my brother works for Obama's campaign so we were inside the election night party there. I've never seen anyone able to bring total strangers together under a united banner like Barack Obama, that is executive experience. That is how you lead the nation, that's how you lead the world. God bless America, this is the greatest country in the world.

Wow, if you can say that confidently, you must be huge. I'm guessing over 6 feet tall, 200+ lbs?
Anyways, thinking back to the political compass topic I made, I don't think you are the most liberal person on GB. I think we had a few Marxists.

aye but I wanna be one of a kind, ya I dont really believe the government should run everything like Marxists do, I think everyone should help each other, Im more pissed of that corporations get on welfare when they dont need the money! Republicans alwayz claim there against Socialism but what they really mean is if ur not making millions of dollars why u shouldnt get help from the government, and CIvil Rights were horrible under Bush, I dont even think that Reagan(the conservative god) would even agree with the patriot act, he would agree with corporate welfare though

Yeah, that first part was a joke. It seems to have gone right over your head, but it is apparent to me that it is not the first time that has happened to you.

First, being "one of a kind" is not a good reason for political motivation. Marxists do not beleive that the government should run everything, that is communism. Marxism is more of an idealistic classless society, and government would not be necessary. Corporate welfare is not a product of the Republican party, it is a bi-partisan failure. The right is mixed, but free-marketers tend to think that the government shouldn't give in to corporate demands. "Republicans alwayz claim there against Socialism but what they really mean is if ur not making millions of dollars why u shouldnt get help from the government, and CIvil Rights were horrible under Bush " Uh, What?

Allow me to say this, without sounding condescending, there are two types of votes, popular and electoral. Sadly, we run off of an electoral system. I do believe McCain had around 100 something electoral and Obama around 300 something electoral. So as far as Political Scientist are concerned, this was a landslide victory.

Agree to disagree here. Our country was on the brink of disaster and not only did FDR rescue our country, but he allowed us to prosper immensley under the peace he brought us. Washington did what he could do, FDR accomplished a seemingly impossible feat and our country survived because of him.

Well, you have to remember that much of the country's salvation can be attributed to the second world war. It created jobs, united the nation, and gave Americans pride again. Yes, his handling of the war and the depression were good, and many of his programs were great, but social security is doomed.

Not anymore, it was the conservative movement's stress for a "only the strong survive" mentality that almost brought social security to its knees. This was largely started during the days of Ronald Reagan and John McCain had an even more extreme approach than Reagan's in this area. Social Security is no longer doomed, nor should it be.

But I do get your respect for George Washington and you would have to be a fool not to. It is a shame the later leaders of this nation did not adhere to George Washington's militarily isolationist philosophies, our country would be in a much greater place had we maintained diplomatic neutrality. He was a brilliant man and we are here today because of him.

WW2 brought us out of the depression more than anything, even though FDR's economic attitude during it helped a lot.
