you can count on Bush taking 45-52% percent of the electorate (allowing for a small presence of a 3rd party candidate) and kerry taking the balance whether that be more or less.
but here on tfp, Bush is getting less than half of what he would get in the general election. if you're looking at this statistically, that is a HUGE deviance fromt the rest of the population.
this doesn't take into account how many people foreign to the US that voted, i'm sure that would skew the poll quite a bit.
but, it's not like this surprises many people.

No doubt our little community is far from representative of the country as a whole. My estimate was based on the skew I see here at TFP Politics on a daily basis.
