Okay, which electors can we lobby? In 38 states they are apparently bound to go with winner-take-all, so my question is, which are the remaining states?

That wouldn't have mattered. I'm pretty sure the candidate has to win a majority (not just a plurality). So the interest case is a 270-268 split, and having one of the 270 electors decide not to vote. Then neither candidate gets a majority and it goes the house.

Right, in a 269-269 tie, it only would have made a difference if he actually switched his vote to Kerry (instead of to a third party candidate) which wasn't what he said he was going to do.
