Some numbers

Not the final tallies, but great stuff:

Obama: 63 million - 52% - 349 EV
McCain: 56 million - 46% - 163 EV

As someone pointed out, our electoral college system leads to this - 6 points difference in popular vote and a blowout in the EV. Also noted: Obama is the first Dem in several decades to get more than 50% of the popular vote, and to win North Carolina. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that 56 million people voted for McCain.
