What is the delta for an election to be considered a 'landslide'? Ten percent (Bush 55, Querry 45) or better?

I ask because you know the MSM will never call the election a 'landslide' for Bush regardless of the outcome.

10 percent might very well translate to a landslide. If Bush wins the toss-up states it will certainly be a landslide.

Agree...GWB could win by 10+ points, 59-41. ABCNNBCBS would STILL BE 'bitchin' about 2000/2002/2004 in 2005.

And a mandate, another 'quality' number. If the winner has coattails and gets a no-doubt-about-it majority in both Houses, that would be a mandate. None of this 50-49 business, but 55-44 or so.
