We are close to winning the presidency.  [Not as close for Congress and state legislatures, and I will not address them here].  Kerry would have won this election had 250,000 Ohioans and Floridians voted the other way.  This is before the final count.  The real number could be 200,000 or lower.

If Ohio and Florida flip Democratic, and can be made to stay that way, and if we defend the blue states successfully, the Democratic presidential candidate is close to 300 electoral votes.
