Now, that’s what I call a landslide

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Ah, and you thought voting analysis was over!

This from Nate Silver via Bob Cesca via Political Carnival (it’s complex, this blogging world):

“Here’s an impressive-sounding statistic, even if it’s mostly an artifact of population growth. Barack Obama’s victory margin from November 4th now stands at 9,124,522 votes, and will probably grow a bit more once states like Illinois, New York and California finalize their counts.

This is the 6th largest victory margin of all time, and the largest ever by a non-incumbent.”
