I did a little number crunching because if Kerry were
to win NM and IA then everything would have been
exactly the same as 2000 except Kerry would have taken
NH instead of Bush.  Given that Bush won in 2000 with
*271* electoral college votes, had electoral college
votes not been redistributed since the 2000 election,
Kerry would have won.

States that went red in both 2000 and 2004 GAINED *7*
electoral college votes since 2000.  States that went
blue in both lost 7.  NM and IA stayed the same, as
did NH.

So the red/blue map actually shows that Kerry did
better than Gore did.  The thing is, the states that
go blue didn't count for as much.  And it made the
difference in this election.
