http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/27/campaign.tie.reut/index.html Some mathmetician calculates there is a 3.25% chance of the Electoral College being tied. Of course if such a thing happened, the U.S. House of Representatives would decide the President, and since Republicans control the House, Bush is likely to be named President. Read the article to see what I am talking about. Now what could GET interesting is that if the Democrats get back control of the U.S. Senate...where no state delegations but instead the majority vote picks the next U.S. Vice-President. Now if the Democrats do get the Senate, John Edwards would be likely to be named U.S. Vice-President. Now wouldn't THAT be a mess...

I doubt that there will be a tie. Theres 97% it won't be. Then, take in factors that the democrats get control of Senate. Thats not very likely, either. So this mess won't happen.

I have read so many different scenarios how this election may turn out that my head is spinning. :p I think we should brace ourselves for just about anything. One reason why I think maybe these predictors/polls may be all wrong is due to the new number of voters and people who haven't voted in years coming out to vote. Could there possibly be a landslide that none of us expect??? I read that in the early voting areas people have claimed to be waiting in line for 3 hours or so just to vote. I think this may be a sign of how anxious everyone is for this election. I'd plan on a long line especially for those who vote after work when it'll be really crowded. I think too, we are in the midst of going down in history and are all a part of, to date the most exciting, controversial, and extremely "hot" election of our time. Just think, our grandchildren will be reading about this whole administration/era in their history books no??? TIS
