Gore won the election without winning the South. Florida is the key, since it is not a traditional southern state. If Kerry can win what Gore won, and pick up Florida or Ohio, he wins both the popular vote and the electoral college. It would certainly be easier if the Democratic candidate could win some of the south, but at this stage of the game it seems unlikely even if Edwards is the nominee.
