It looks like John McCain and Orrin Hatch are currently leading, taking most of the south...

Current Electoral Standings:

John S. McCain / Orrin Hatch (R) - 101 EVs
Paul Wellstone / Zell Miller (D) - 92 EVs

Pardon my lack of knowledge on the corrupt American system of government but what do the boxed in 1s in the middle of the map mean?

Both Maine and Nebraska split their electoral votes by Congressional district, rather than a winner-take-all system other states employ in allocating electoral votes.
 
The incident in Ohio ended up swaying my opinions in favor of McCain. I thought both candidates expressed their ideas well, but I just couldn't get over it.
 
Wellstone got my vote. It's about time we broke the religious barrier on the Presidency, and it's about time we put a real progressive in the White House.
 
I agree. The outburst he had in Ohio just may cost him the election..

Well, to be completely fair the crowd was sort of taunting him. I doubt I could have maintained my composure in that sort of situation... which is why I am not in politics.


Really, I just don't want to the President to lose his temper during an important event. I doubt that would be good for foreign relations.

I am suddenly doubting my decision. Oh dear.
 
McCain all the way...Too bad Wellstone had a 7-point lead in CA (my home state) going into Election Day. I'm actually surprised McCain lost in Missouri: it must've been close.
