David Shuster on Hardblogger today did the math for Ohio:

He comes up with Kerry 3000 votes short. But he forgot a little something...
Here's my email to him (which is quite civil compared to yesterday's entitled "Shuster's Empty Promise"):
Dear Mr. Shuster,
In your blog this evening, you neglected to mention that the 138,000 vote lead that President Bush currently holds over Senator Kerry in Ohio includes the nearly 4,000 extra votes he received in Gahanna (where only some 600 people voted). Those won't be subtracted from the total until the official count.
So, with your math, John Kerry's 3000 vote deficit, would become an approximately 1000 vote lead. Hail to the Chief.
Sincerely,
Chicago Lulu
