Why am I waking up to find NYT calling this a NARROW VICTORY? (RANT)

Is that what you call a greater than 100 point SHELLACKING in the electoral college? And a 2-point advantage in the popular vote, and counting (once Miami-Dade decides to return to work)?

A victory in which all but ONE swing state went to Obama (yes, I'm confident about Florida)?

NARROW?



Not to mention that the Dems not only HELD their majority in the Senate, but look poised to GAIN in the House, when all is said and done.

Seriously? Wow, that's ridiculous. This was a TROUNCING! Though Obama will not say it (but by God I hope he claims it), this was a MANDATE!

Wonder if they will revise their title once Florida becomes official?
