That is the way it looks to me, too.
However, there are many states where it is too close to call. Those
states contain more than enough electoral college votes to put Gore over
the top if he were to win most of them.
I think that many of the Nader advocates who say there is no difference
between Gore and Bush are not paying attention. If Nader were not in the
race and so a group of voters were forced to actually look closely at
Gore and Bush, they would see that Gore is far preferable to Bush. In
that case, I suspect that the figures quoted above about Bush's lead
would be reversed, and we would be saying that Gore has a 3-4% lead.
