According to Carlos Watson it has only been four elections since the presidential candidate got a majority vote. (Because of strong third parties.) Before then it was the norm so it isn't that historical.
Its not like he won with 75 percent of the vote. Now that would be historical. And he is the incumbent. So this should be more like a "whew" we survived this challenge.
ETA: I still believe that whoever wins the popular vote should win the presidency and if that person is W, then so be it.
