If Gallup is right and Bush gets Wisconsin (10), Iowa (7), Pennsylvania (21), and if he get New Mexico (5) (which he will) that gives Bush 270 (227+43).

Also, if Bush get 25% of Maine's vote, he get another 1 EV.

This is not correct. Maine does not allocate proportionally. They do it by congressional district. So Bush would have to win one of the two congressional districts to get 1 EV. The person who wins the whole state gets an additional 2 EV.

One Pubbie elector from WV is saying he will not automatically vote for Bush. Needs to be replaced, pronto.

Maine is not a proportional state, like what is being proposed in Colorado. Maine allocates 2 EVs based on the statewide polling and then additional ones based on the voting within each congressional district. Bush may have a shot at Maine's 2nd congressional district. He does not get one with 25 percent.
