Reuters claimed yesterday: McCain-Obama tie possible in presidential race.
I thought we went through that in the last (ie Bush-Kerry) Presidential election. Or was it the previous (ie Bush-Gore) one? Or was it both.
Now they’re trotting out the same story again? 🙄
Maybe that’s their admission that the ObamaByLandslide polling they’re releasing isn’t as convincing to them as they want it to be to the American public. 😯
| What if it’s a tie?
A handful of battleground states are likely to determine the November 4 U.S. presidential election and it’s possible that Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama could split them in a manner that leaves each just short of victory. If that happens, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives would pick the president but it’s unclear whether Democrats would have enough votes to send Obama to the White House. The House last decided an election in 1824. But the legal skirmishing and partisan rancor would probably resemble a more recent election — the 2000 vote in which Republican George W. Bush narrowly defeated Democrat Al Gore after a disputed Florida vote count and legal battle. |
