US election competition

Nick Barlow's away, so it is left to me to hold the election competition, and it's a simple one.

What will be President Bush's electoral college votes minus Senator Kerry's electoral college votes?

For example if you think Bush will lead by 20, put +20. If Kerry is going to win by 15, put -15. A tie you put 0.

Rules are - results as published by CNN tomorrow afternoon, nearest person wins, and the prize, as normal, is a copy of Simply Red's 'Stars' album. To try to get more than 1 entrant, I'll also throw in a copy of John Lloyd's, 'What the Media are Doing to Our Politics'.

Answers in the comments box by midnight UK time tonight.

Update: It's not all finished yet, but the winner is likely to be Anthony, who already technically owns the Simply Red CD by virtue of winning it in a previous election competition. And you though the US election was complicated and corrupt!
