Actually, all Kerry has to do is hold Gore's vote in the west and northeast, etc. and win one south state with a sufficient number of votes to win the electoral college and the presidency. It's not that difficult in terms of doing the math. All that is needed is a southern VP who can do better than Gore did in the south.
The problem with your map is a lot of the red is in states with low electoral votes.
Edit: however, if you're talking strictly about it being the same result in terms of electoral votes as Clinton/Gore in 1992, I think you're right that that will not happen.
