    Question A Presidential Tie?

    According to people who study this sort of thing, there is a 1 in 200 chance that McCain and Obama will end up in a 269-269 tie in the electoral college.

    That could create some interesting scenarios, including having Nancy Pelosi serve as President for a while...

    Not likely, but funny to think about the circus that might happen.

    It would be interesting to see if a Pelosi Presidency could sink as low as the Pelosi's DEM Lead Congress' 9% approval rating.
