But the differences are apparently slight.

Yes, mostly well within the margin of error. I've also seen some claims that Obama might get the electoral votes but squeak under on the popular vote. I've not seen the details on how that could possibly happen, but I've long assume that is impossible for a Dem vs Rep due to the urban vs rural divide and how that is distributed with electoral votes.

It would be LOL funny if Obama did win the electoral vote but lost the popular vote. We could watch all the 2000 positions change sides on the issue, with the right thinking maybe its not so great after all, and the left deciding the founding fathers showed some wisdom for the ages.... More likely than that IMHO would be the reverse however, Mitt wining on electoral votes and slightly losing the popular vote.

Not long till we know...
