NBC says only ~175K difference @ 3:31 EST. I don't think it is over.

In case you didn't get it earlier, he was talking about the electoral vote, not the popular vote.

If the current results hold, then Bush will have won by the one thousand, seven hundred eighty-five votes which gave him the state of Florida. He won Florida (if he did, that is) by six percent of one percent of the Floridian vote. Basically, less than seven percent of one percent of one percent of the US population decided the vote.

PS: This was/is a really cool and exciting election. Best I've ever witnessed. It's too bad that neither of the candidates (imho) are qualified enough for the $400K-a-year job.
