Here is my senerio, tie and it goes to congress and McCain is selected and Palin is not. Plenty of accusations of election fraud on election day and between the time congress selects McCain. Huckabee is selected as VP by the senate.
(Note: this doesn't represent what I want to happen.)

bump, come on nobody wants to guess tomorrow?

How would such a scenario transpire?
If it went to congress, would it then not go to Obama?
Don't the Dems control congress? I'm confooooosed! ???

Here's mine. The only thing that will change is if Obama wins Florida.

yea, but each state gets only 1 vote, all the reps from one state have to chose how their 1 vote is cast, the candidate who gets 26 votes wins. That means Wyoming has as much say as California. Then for VP it goes to the Senate to decide. I'm not totally sure on that part so maybe my huckabee guess isn't possible, I think it is but maybe I can be corrected on that.
ok, checked on the vp. each senator gets one vote, it goes to who gets the most votes and from what I understand, they can vote for anybody. So liebermann could be a dick or if it's split tied between two choices, maybe that means dick cheney picks the vp lol... but libermann would be a dick and go with the republican pick.

According to Mr Melodramatic himself - Wolf Blitzer - the VP nominee becomes acting Prez - eg it wouldn't be Huck, would be Palin :o

ok, I went out on a limb, ...this is what I predict will most likely happen.

it would also be the person the senate picks as VP if the house doesn't decide by a certain date. That person would be acting president and it might not be Palin that gets picked. They are under no obligation to pick McCain's VP choice or Obama's if it's a tie. and if nobody decides, it goes to Nancy Pelosi to be acting president lol.

If McCain by some miracle pulls it off this is how I think it will go down.
I seriously doubt he will get CO and Fla tho....

Looking at jag's 353 to 185 map....

Obama 291 - McCain 247

-
Obama 323
McCain 204

Obama 323
McCain 204
post the link to your map if you can, thanks... trying to figure what states you picked for 323.

Obama gets 400 electorates, and wins Arizona and even up in Montana.
Democrats will get 62 senators, filibuster proof. Liz Dole will lose et al.

I predicted Obama v. McCain with an Obama win back in January or February of this year.
