An Obama/Romney White House. And not from them running together. [View All]

Nope I am not crazy. Follow me here. According to my own predictions Obama's worst case scenario is him winning: Iowa, Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

and him losing: New Hampshire, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, and Nevada.

This would make it 269 Obama and 269 McCain, which would send the president selection into the House for a vote. But it isn't a straight up vote. Each states delegation gets 1 vote unless they are evenly split... in which case they have to abstain. The president select must have 26 votes. Thanks to our fantastic showing in 06 Obama would have the vote of 27 state delegations. The number is 28 now thanks to our recent pickup in Mississippi which slung the state from a tied state now into a dem state.


But, that is only for president. The VP spot goes to a vote in the Senate. Each senator gets a vote and they must choose between the to VP candidates. While we control the senate LIEberman has endorsed gramps for president. This would cause a 50/50 split in the Senate vote. In comes Cheney to break the tie... The republicans may well decide to place their VP in order to
A: Cause havoc
B: Set them up for President in 2012 and
C: Just to annoy us.


There you have it. Obama/Romney or Obama/Huckabee or Obama/Cheney :( or Obama/Bush(Jeb)

Please rec and kick so others can read this. Thanks.
