Unfortunately this thread is not a 'cheeracracy' . Obama did not win that much by the popular vote see for yourself Nov 6,08'CNN Politics.Com WASHINGTON (CNN) – A new report from American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate concludes that voter turnout in Tuesday’s election was the same in percentage terms as it was four years ago — or at most has risen by less than 1 percent.
“A downturn in the number and percentage of Republican voters going to the polls seemed to be the primary explanation for the lower than predicted turnout,” the report said. Compared to 2004, Republican turnout declined by 1.3 percentage points to 28.7 percent, while Democratic turnout increased by 2.6 points from 28.7 percent in 2004 to 31.3 percent in 2008.

If you would like to spread the notion that the presidential 2008' election was a watershed event at least check your facts and political culture since historians like Howard Zinn 'A peoples history of the United States' and Noam Choamsky 'Manufactoring Consent' among others completely argue otherwise.
