PEGGY NOONAN'S ENCOUNTERS WITH MATH

Peggy Noonan today, downplaying President Obama's victory:
He won in 2008 by 9.5 million votes. He won Tuesday night, at last count, by less than three million.
Peggy Noonan on November 11, 2004, exulting in George W. Bush's victory:
The president won re-election by a relatively healthy margin because the American people judged him to be the better man.
So what was "a relatively healthy margin" in 2004?

Curiously, it was about three million votes.





This has been another episode of "Republican Fun with Math."
