Personally, I think you're getting desperate for things to whine about, Jim. But don't worry, your friends in Congress have a backup plan in case things go against W. DeLay and company have lots of practice at this, whining about every close race they lose.

G.O.P. Begins Jockeying in House on Fate of Election nytimes.com

Representative Tom DeLay,
the Republican leader who drove the
House forward to impeachment, has
sent a staff memorandum to
Congressional Republicans pointing
out that the House and Senate can
reject a state's electoral votes if they
decide that the votes are tainted.

The memorandum, with the neutral
title "Electoral College Process in the
Congress," is one of several research
efforts under way by senior
Republicans as members of their
party express fears that ballot
recounts could deprive Gov. George
W. Bush of a victory in Florida, and
as scholars disagree over what
would happen if there is no one to
represent a stalemated Florida when
the Electoral College meets in
December.

Mr. DeLay, a Texan who is the
House majority whip, had his aides
distribute the two-page e-mail
memorandum in recent days. It sets
out Congress's role in tallying and
certifying electoral votes and the circumstances that could lead to the
House itself choosing the president.
