Hmm.. That's not as bad as I thought it was.. Actually I figured it would be worse than that.. 54-45 isn't too bad for it to be 51-47.

Considering the Dems scarign people in the votes with "Vote now or they'll slash your tires on Nov 2nd" campaign.

That's not too bad.

We have more states to add, including CA - that could really bring it around to Bush's favor. Howlin posted all the Early voting states a few posts back. (I don't know how to post tables)

OK, Based on the table of early voting states (Howlin posted ), I have from the 2000 election, (FINAL TOTALS FOR EARLY VOTING STATES ONLY):

BUSH 25,916,482 : 53.11%

GORE 22,878,768 : 46.89%

So again, Bush is trailing in the GOTV effort by 2% at this point in time, if he is now only drawning 51% of the early vote. Lets hope the last 72 hours for Bush GOTV surpasses Kerry.
