I don't get how a candidate can win by a landslide, when in the key states he is either not ahead, or slightly tied with his competitor.
And what does the turn out in 08 have to do with the actual data of this year?

That doesn't happen. If you win by a landslide, either the polls you were looking at were wrong, or the voters who were polled didn't come out to vote like you thought. Since those two options happened probably 1 time since the beginning (Washington) that's unlikely to happen.
And the Dems were "somehow" at their highest turnout rate in 2008, so that's why he won. It's a lie, but that's what they were saying. but you cant compare the two years, I mean besides the fact they are two different years, but Hurricane Sandy is sure to dampen both sides
I thought Obama was gonna lose in 08 but he ended up winning.
