Anyone else think the rethugs will just try to run out the clock? [View All]

Like many DUers I don't foresee the rethugs allowing an orderly tranfer of power.

Anyone else think the rethugs will try to run out the clock and force the prez election to the House of Reps?

This is the scenario I'm envisioning:

1. The election is held on schedule and Kerry appears to win.


2. The next day the rethugs contest as many Blue states as they need to keep Kerry's certified electoral vote count under 270 and furthermore less than *'s number.


3. With enough recounts, court challenges, and other stalling tactics, so much time passes that the election is thrown to the House.


4. The rethug majority in the House elects *.


5. Kerry doesn't contest the outcome "to avoid a constitutional crisis".

Another long, drawn-out media orgy with the same gut-wrenching outcome as 2000.
