If Mccain had won the election, I'm wondering what size the current US budget deficit would be. Revenues would be about the same, but the big question would be how much less would government spending be, if any less.

Between $800 Billion and $1.1 Trillion.

Probably not much different, except that McCain would have been able to get some of the real bad pork out of the stimulus bill that he would have passed too.  But in the end, that doesn't count for much.

Less now, more after the Bush tax cuts expire.
