ROBERT D. NOVAK

WASHINGTON -- The biennial state-by-state, district-by-district rundown of Tuesday's election by the Evans-Novak Political Report points to a huge Electoral College victory by Sen. Barack Obama, though short of the total blowout that some have predicted, with Democrats significantly increasing their majorities in the Senate and House.

If the election were held today, Tim Carney, senior reporter for the Evans-Novak Political Report, sees formerly Republican states such as Virginia and Colorado moving into the Democratic column.

Carney's latest rundown shows an Electoral College victory for Obama of 286-252 -- a landslide, but not of 1936 proportions.

1. Even Robert Novak thinks Obama is going to win?!

Awesome...

2. 286-252 isn't a landslide

It's more of a squeaker .. I'll take it, but I'm hoping for a lot more than that!

3. Consider the source.

7. It certainly isn't a landslide, but...

...that was what the 2004 total was, and he has to say that so he can keep the "bush mandate" line of BS.

4. A win is a win

I'd like to see a landslide in both the electoral and popular vote. Kick the GOP to the curb. They deserve total humiliation after the past 8 years and the completely sleazy campaign they ran against Obama.

5. Just win in 08. Then repair the voting system. Then landslide.

6. GOP hasn't had a set and hasn't kept the boy king in check. Let

'em watch from the sidelines to see how it's done.
