One electoral vote (the 2nd Congressional District) remains up for grabs in Nebraska.  McCain has an ever-so-slight lead here.    Nebraskans have never split their electoral votes since the somewhat proportional system was put into place.

If these leanings hold, the final unofficial electoral count will be 364-174.  Our prediction was 393-145.     We will have missed Georgia, Montana and Missouri.
