is 10% of the vote. That would qualify as a landslide.

When my next door neighbor in Pennsylvania ran for mayor of our town a few years ago, and came back from the precinct meeting where they counted the votes and announced the winner, I asked him how he did.

"Well, it was close. I only won by 25 votes." A total of 32 people voted.
