The first polls have closed and we can call Indiana and Kentucky for Governor Bush.

This is what I think would happen under this scenario. I know that probably won't be the map by the end but this is what I think would happen.

322-216

I’m curious now, how poorly did Gore do in WV a second time? I don’t think even Kerry lost it the minute polls closed there

If 9/11 still happens, I think Gore wins. If it doesn't Bush has a chance.
