However, I do strive to be a fair minded analyst of the passing scene. Without a doubt, Sen. Obama is ahead. With the struggling economy, an unpopular war, the mainstream media backing Obama and the GOP having held the White House for two terms, the tide against McCain is strong. The fact that it is even moderately close is an indication of the weakness of Sen. Obama as a candidate.
Without a dramatic shift in the undecideds for McCain, Obama will be the next president.
However, if a shift does occur, is it possible to get a tie in the electoral college?
Play with the states and it is possible.
What happens then?
The Constitution calls for the newly elected House of Representatives to vote for president by state delegations and for the Senate to vote for vice-president.
If you are teaching US History or just curious, be sure to get "After the People Vote".
