If Bush was declared the winner because of the EC vote despite losing the popular vote, then Obama can be considered to have won by a 2-1 margin on the same basis.
Obama's problem in this election is that he is not running against an unpopular incumbent. He's running on his own record... and he's got nothing.
Obama still enjoys a huge lead in projected electoral votes and leads in most swing states
The problem with your Messiah is that he is unpopular with his own base, unpopular personally and has no clear message for his path forward
Expect Obama to win with 325 or more electoral votes
