WASHINGTON (Reuters) - What if it's a tie?

A handful of battleground states are likely to determine the November 4 U.S. presidential election and it's possible that Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama could split them in a manner that leaves each just short of victory. If that happens, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives would pick the president but it's unclear whether Democrats would have enough votes to send Obama to the White House.

The House last decided an election in 1824. But the legal skirmishing and partisan rancor would probably resemble a more recent election -- the 2000 vote in which Republican George W. Bush narrowly defeated Democrat Al Gore after a disputed Florida vote count and legal battle.

We have plenty to choose from, but it would require undoing quite a lot of the Constitution.

However, since the incumbent is busy with that already a little more adjustment might not even be noticed.

Status: offline 		at this point i don't care who wins...i don't like either choice... this year there really isn't a choose the lesser of 2 evils for me.  if there is a tie, i might just go underground and hide out.  i don't think i could stand another minute of this circus, i mean election.  maybe they should all put clown noses on and we'll hold a deciding vote on who looks the best.

Status: offline 		Yes, all forms of sexual service are taken into account. Are you a super delegate or a average delegate this is what is most crucial? By delegate I mean something else entirely.
 
It would be amiss of me to also not point out that acts of self humiliation also work; these are counted at 65% of the total judgement.

Status: offline 		Considering that this article may have been in the works before the financial bailout bills, McCain's fake "campaign suspension," the wild ass claims that it was Obama's fault, and his pulling out of Michigan, I wonder how really accurate/relevant it is.

It's okay Sanity. I understand completely. You're trying to convince yourself that McCain still has a chance. Maybe you can pull some articles from just after the GOP convention? That will help.

No, as the article linked to in the OP points out, the House of Representatives decides in the case of any possible tie.
