Its not shame, just good strategy on Bush's part. The Clinton/Gore smear machine has been particularly effective against the Republican Congress. JLA

I wonder how many people vote straight tickets? I do. If GWB wins, I think he'll have coattails.knc

Bush Trounces Gore in Electoral College Poll
NewsMax.com
Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2000
George W. Bush is handily leading Al Gore in the latest analyses of the Electoral College vote.
According to Fox News on Tuesday:

Bush safely has a whopping 205 of the 270 votes needed. In addition, 41 electoral votes – from Florida, Missouri and New Mexico – lean toward Bush.

Gore is "safe" in states with a meager 92 votes, all in the Northeast. He has 117 votes "leaning," including California, Oregon, Washingon, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee and West Virginia.

Eighty-three votes are a toss-up: Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Arkansas.
If things continue this way, it could be a Bush landslide Nov. 7.

The liberal CBS News agreed Tuesday that Bush is leading the vote count, though it gave him less of a lead. According to CBS:

Bush leads in 24 states, with 209 electoral votes.

Gore leads in leads in the District of Columbia and 12 states, with 182 electoral votes.

The remaining 14 states, with 147 electoral votes, are too close to call. These consist of Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
While it's too early yet for Bush to be measuring for Oval Office curtains, things are looking his way.
