The The New York Times offers an interesting piece on the electoral map, indicating that more states are in play in this election than prior contests.
Kerry's reported determination not to concede states that Gore didn't fight for is appropriate. But the risk he runs is spreading himself too thinly.

His choice of a running mate should say a lot about which region he wants to focus on.
