So I was thinking today about the possibility of no electoral majority for either Bush or the Democratic candidate in 2004. It's not too hard to imagine for me: If Dean or whoever the Democratic nominee is wins all the states Gore won last time, in addition to West Virginia and New Hampshire(the two most likely Dem pickups), then that would give Dean 269 Electoral votes, the same number as Bush. That would throw the election into the Republican-controlled(most likely) House of Representatives, where they would vote on it. Do you think that if Dean won the popular vote, that the Republicans would award him the presidency, or would the Republicans(albeit this time in a different branch of the government) award Bush the presidency once again. I can't even bear to think of this possibility.
If Dean is the nom the Bush will get a big majority.
