It is almost impossible to get 60% in an American election.
A ten-point win tends to bring huge majorities in the electoral college along with it, thus becoming more genuinely "national" in character. Such a victory has historically coincided with impressive gains for the victor's party in other federal and state contests, and begins to assume "earth-moving" dimensions for all involved. 20-point blow-outs like FDR (1936), Johnson, and Reagan (1984) are probably about as good as it gets.
