My Electoral Nightmare

I was fooling around with this neat New York Times "interactive Election Guide":http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/politics/2004_ELECTIONGUIDE_GRAPHIC/, and I inputted my predictions for how the states will vote in November. This was my worst-case scenario, with Bush winning both Florida and Ohio... the result? TIED. It'll be the "House of Representatives":http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/80oct/deadlock.htm rather than the "Supreme Court":http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/00-949.ZPC.html, this time around...

I’d like to think that MN will go for Kerry, since I live there, but I fear it will be very, very close. We have a Republican governor now, and the Democratic mayor of St. Paul just came out for Bush and will be traveling the state stumping for him.

I doubt it will be that close. Probably a electoral boat race.
