Re:Give it up Kerry

Kerry currently has 242 electoral votes, with Ohio (20), Wisconsin(10), Iowa(7), Nevada(5), and New Mexico(5) still in limbo.

So Kerry could get Ohio + Wisconsin + some others and have plenty more than 270.

CNN just called Wisconsin. It's more than a ray of hope, it's still very much up in the air!

That's all well and good. However, with Ohio, Bush doesn't need to win anything else. Kerry can get all the remaining states and end up with a 269/269 tie. With a 269 total electorial vote count, Bush will win by default in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives tiebreaker. As long as Bush has Ohio (which is mathematically most likely), he wins.

73.7%. Kerry has not gotten this percentage in any other state in the country, not MA, not NY, nowhere

Kerry got 89.5% of the vote in DC, but I take your point - the rest of the post is probably true.
