Since I’m publicly on the record as predicting that Obama would win by “the widest margin since Reagan” I’ve really only cared about one thing related to this election — that my prediction wouldn’t make me look like a total moron.

Well, as of earlier this morning, CNN is reporting the current popular vote total as…

Obama: 66,056,046
McCain: 57,838,800
A difference of: 8,217,246

This exceeds the popular vote margin of Clinton ‘96 of 8,203,602 — making Obama’s victory the highest popular vote margin since Reagan ‘84.

Just sayin…
