It does not go to a popular vote in the case of a tie. In the case of a tie the House votes for President and Senate votes for the Vice President. 24 states are required to vote for who their states voted for. Leaving 26 states the opportunity to go against their state and vote for the candidate of their choice. When it comes to the Senate, same rules apply, Leiberman would be required to vote for his state's selection required by law. That leaves basically a split between the states where I calculated a current tie. One factor is that it goes for the next term senators, that could move it to Obama/Biden.

Companies that send jobs overseas actually able to hire more people and create more jobs. We lose jobs in short run because we are shifting our economy to maximize our competive advantage. By Maximizing our competive advantage, we are actually growing our GDP. Why do we need low paying jobs just to have jobs? What we need is a more productive system which allows our workers to maximize their potential. This keeps the prices of our goods down. For example if we want jobs, just to have jobs we can produce all of our clothing in America, we have the capability. But why pay someone $20 an hour to make one shirt when we can pay someone $.10 an hour to make it. Everyone is made better in the long run when we outsource our not so good jobs for higher paying American jobs. Our economy has been shifting from a manufacturing country to a service country. If you are not aware of this, they you will be left behind and complaining and whining. I suggest that people start learning more about laws of economics before they make bogus and outrageous claims.

NH now going to the dems and NC/FL to republicans. Give PA/MI(if they can hang on to it) to the dems. WA/CO/NM/IA/Minnesota as well. Republicans get Missouri/NV/VA. i see the election currently going to obama by a small margin as swing states turn to one side or the other. NH now going to the dems and NC/FL to republicans.

It will be 321 Electoral College votes for McCain/Palin, and 217 for Osama bin Biden. Yes; go out and actually talk to the groundlings across rural America and among hunters, fishermen, union members, farmers, ranchers, businesspeople...Balack Hussein Osama is a leftist media darling, period. He was a fabrication of Oprah Wimpey; all they needed out in 'flyover country' was a half-decent, honest person who could prove that (s)he would use good judgment in acting on the best assessments of the Joint Chiefs, the intelligence community, and the cabinet. John McCain doesn't really meet that test, but with Sarah Barracuda right behind him, he will. And SHE definitely will, once she takes the White House. Which she will. You liberals keep listening to the fantasies of Barbra Streisand (all all the rest of Hollywood). Go back and watch Keith Olberman, Geraldo, Larry ('the corpse') King, Chris Matthews, and Oprah. Keep weaving wreaths out of dried daisies and marijuana leaves. Your boy is toast.

Given that she was chair of bush's campaign in Florida in '99, which is no doubt a conflict of interest, her recalcitrance is apparent. That woman deserves every ounce of ridicule coming her way. katherine harris refused extend the certification deadlines to accomodate the pending recounts in certain counties.
