No, much worse than the small disturbance of 2000.
Compare the graphs here ( http://electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Pres/ec_graph-2008.html http://electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Pres/ec_graph-2008.html ), particularly the ones that leave out the "barely" states.
People are much less politically apathetic in the US than they were in 2000, and I'd bet money on a serious people-dying riot in the case of another shady election deal. The 2000 elections were close enough to fudge, this was a landslide.
I can't remember another time in my life where a lot of people were overcome with emotion to the point of tears at the result of an election in the US.
