I'm pretty sure a candidate has to have a majority of all electoral votes that exist in the country rather than electoral votes cast. So (if i'm not mistaken) one candidate would have to have 270 electoral votes to avoid it being decided in the congress. So I think 269 - 268 would still send the election to congress where Bush would win. I'm not 100% sure about that though and it would be a nice thing to know 100%.
