was Obama being elected merely a fluke?

You failed to notice I did discern it, and replied in the same vein.

Keeping in mind.... There really are folks who believe Obama IS the same as Reagan. The joke is actually on them.

what makes them think they are the same?

They both "had a vision of chaaaaaaange!"

so did the Bolsheviks.

Actually, according to David Icke all of our Presidents since Roswell are the same shape-changing reptilian creature from another dimension.....

Imagine.... The space aliens who crashed at Roswell taking over all governments on the planet.... With their shape-changing abilities and 500 year lifespan, they're ruling this planet and we don't even know it!

Thatcher was one too, according to Icke.

Obama won because the Bush Administration was so alarmingly bad that there was a tremendous backlash against the "conservative brand" that was sufficient enough to elect the first black President in this country.

Conservatives always seem to want to gloss over that and act like their piss-poor leadership had nothing to do with Obama winning.

Not true. Most conservatives I know were well aware that the republican leadership had abandoned their conservative base. Which they compounded by nominating McCain, who did not even try to appear conservative except in contrast to Obama. Had a true conservative run, Obama would currently be on the road promoting the latest book Bill Ayers wrote for him. (Or perhaps he would have purchased his old senate seat from Blago).

In the primary campaigns of 2008, the Conservatives ate their own. You couldn't rally enough support to Huckabee, you castigated Romney for his religion and blamed teh Democrats for the nomination of McCain!

All Conservatives can do is shout. They can't form policy and enact it, they refuse to build political coalitions to advance any agenda but their own and they stand ram rod straight and shout "Hell NO!".

Go ahead. Win some elections. Then when the genie doesn't magically appear and make everything better in less than TWO YEARS, don't get pissed when you're kicked to the side like in 2006 and 2008.

if people knew president obama as well as they have gotten to know him by now, would he defeat a relatively poor mccain campaign peddling an unknown female as vice? what about the race element?

In reality anyone the Democrats ran was going to win because of the debacle that was the Bush Administration. Perhaps if the Republican noise machine had two years to spread unreasonable fear against Obama, but they just didn't have enough time to hammer their talking point......not that they didn't try. "He's a Socialist" They cried. "He's not like us" They screamed......and on....and on.

Now they snookered so many people. As evidence by the number of people who fall for their bullshit. "The President is spending 200 million dollars day" They scream......

Ronald Reagan 1980 = between 50% + 51% of the popular voted equaled a landslide?

50-41 does.

Comparable with:

United States presidential election, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

50% of the popular vote is NOT a landslide.

Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections

very few (if any) landslides in American elections in my lifetime or yours.

It is why media and spin doctors will always focus on electoral college votes.

No, he was elected by a bunch of gullible zombies.

but people consider obama's victory a landslide because he garnered so many electoral votes, as if people in certain states are of more value than those in others..
Nixon in 1972 was a landslide.

On both I cited the electoral college votes were landslides as well.

If Obama's election was a landslide, Reagan's 1980 one was as well. They either both are, or both not.

the sad part is you think I voted fro Obama and think I think Obama whad a mandate of some sort.

Obama barely won the Dem primary, but then handily won with 52+%
still not a landslide, but more than Reagan in 1980 - 50+%

okay. I'll do this slowly n-e-i-t-h-e-r Obama in 2008, n-o-r Reagan in 1980, w-o-n landslides with a mandate.

Clearly you cannot read.

Obama, 52-45, 7 points
Reagan, 50-41 9 points

Do the math. They are either both landslides, or neither is.

I've no idea who you voted for nor ever assumed. I did however, vote for Obama.

The most recent fluke was the GOP controlling the House, Senate, and presidency for 6 years.

The point is, both are claimed to have done so.

See? Can't have one claim without the other.

I didn't know flukes could vote.

They do when ACORN registers 'em.

Yeah but none of those flukes they registered ever really voted. The workers were just padding their payrolls.

But seriously

How is it that after laboring in relative obscurity as a community organizer for almost 40 years, ACORN was so falsely framed in news stories that many Americans believed the absurd and alarming notion that it stole a presidential election? The answer is a tale of not only how the Republican Party and conservative news media framed ACORN, but also how most mainstream journalism organizations were negligent by repeating rather than fact-checking the spurious allegations.

conservatives and most all media people repeat the fiction that Reagan won in a landslide in 1980.

Nixon won a landslide and he did it with the type of crooked corporate money that the SCOTUS has just allowed back into the political election cycles.

Back to slush funds and "I am not a crook"?
