George W. Bush is currently leading the popular vote by over 3.5 million votes, or 51% to 48% for John Kerry.

Ohio is over, even though some networks still refuse to call it.

Nevada went for Bush, and Iowa and New Mexico look to be heading that way.

That gives us 286 electoral votes for Bush, and 252 for Kerry.

As Democrats still liked to remind us up until November 1st, 2004, Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, even though it turned out to be a sadly lacking consolation prize. It will be interesting to see if they still think it is important enough, especially with Bush winning over 50%. Not even Bill Clinton did that.
