For reference, according to the CIA World Factbook, France has only 60,424,213 people total.

The final Electoral College tally was:

Bush: 286
Kerry: 251
Edwards: 1 (In Minnesota, one Kerry Elector voted "John Edwards" for President and "John Edwards" for V.P.)

Ohio, interestingly enough, was only the 5th closest state, with Bush winning by a margin of 118,599, or 2.11%.

Wisconsin had the closest margin of victory, with Kerry winning there by a mere .38%, or 11,384 votes.
