My Bad Day at Black Rock Scenario was exactly that, but it was based on a 269-269 tie. The Senate is still not determined...last check was 50 to 49 in favor of Republicans, with a WA seat still in doubt. IF that goes Democrat, no VP can get elected. The House, I am not sure, but I still think no one party has 26 states which they control the majority. Could someone research that?<g> My estimate was Repubs had 25, Dems had 20 and 5 states were even, but I am not sure. IF the House stays like that, they won't be able to elect a President, unless someone bolts. The Repubs do have a majority in the House, member wise. Fortunately, they WILL be able to elect a Speaker of the House(I think). That will probably elect Dennis Hastert again as Speaker. If this isn't resolved by early Jan and Maria Cantrell wins the WA seat, Mr. Speaker will become the Acting President of the United States. If the Senate stays Republican, Mr. Cheney will become Acting President. Unbelievable! TG
