John, On the presidential side, I don't think there is a runoff on doling out the electoral votes. At least I haven't heard of any On the Senate side, I believe you need 50% of the vote to win the election.(http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/11/final-senate-projection-114-7-8.html--you have to scroll down a bit to find this on the fivethirtyeight page) otherwise, there is a runoff. Bob Barr is on the ballot as a libertarian for president. I don't know if he is going to bring other libertarians out of if it will affect their vote but there is a libertarian on the ballot for senator here named Buckley(first name Allen). I haven't seen any recent data on how he and Barr are polling so I am not sure where things are here. I am not sure if this thing would go to a runoff, how that would affect people's voting since it would be known how the regular election turned out and you may get people voting for one or the other candidate depending on how they wanted things to be in the Senate.
