That's a difference of 8,644,455 votes.  6.8% difference.  Mandate anyone?

Do you think we should talk about "man dates" when there is all this concern about gay marriage. First, they date, then they gonna wanna get married.

Actually, it is you , as usual , that is wrong . Even though Reagan's first win over Carter was called a landslide, he only got slightly over 50% . In the second against Mondale he did get 58% , but I am sure Big O will do much better than that in 2012 against whatever moron y'all do run assuming there even is a Repub party by then.

So 58 percent isn't a landslide?

You're fucking retarded.

Ronaldus Magnus won 49 States you mental midgit. That's a landslide.

As I said, that was the second election. In Big O's second, he will win all the states if there is a Repub party, my horny little slugbrain.

Would you like to bet on whether or not his Oneness will even run for a second term? There's a dead pool out there if you'd like to participate.

You rarely get anything right.

Reagan got more than 9% of the popular vote over Carter (43,903,230 to 35,480,115) and got like 80% of the EC vote over Carter (489/90.9% to 49/9.1%).

Reagan may have been popular, but I sure never voted for his sorry wrinkled ass. He was a disaster at everything but delivering speeches written for him by others onto 3 X 5  cards, and smiling for the cameras.

He was good at that. The presidency was his best acting role.

And you never do because you never listen , but always shot off your arrogant mouth. All I said was that Reagan got barely over 50 % . There was a 3rd Party Candate that nearly got 7%

n 1980, Ronald Reagan carried 44 states with 489 electoral votes, compared to 49 for President Jimmy Carter, who won six states and the District of Columbia. But he only received 50.7% of the popular vote, while Carter took 41%, and Independent John B. Anderson (a liberal Republican) received 6.7%

And I posted my source something you rarely do.
