In case 50.1% of the people in EVERY state would go for Bush and 49.9% of the people for Kerry, wouldn't Bush be elected with 100.0% of votes ?

It's that damn electorial college. The are obligated to vote for whoever wins the popular vote of their state.
Your state gets so many electorial vote according to its population. This is determined by the census. I think we had one in 2000 last.
The only people we elect directly are probably Senators, Governers, and members of the House of Representatives.
