The presidential race is neck and neck. What if the electoral vote ends in a tie? We’ll go deep on what would happen next.

Half the country’s eye, fixed on Hurricane Sandy today. A massive storm. An extreme and unusual event. Depending how it hits, what it disrupts, Sandy may get the single biggest vote in next week’s presidential election. But it’s not the only extreme and unusual possible event out there.

1. Obama will win. No tie will happen! n/t

2. NPR = Nice Polite Republicans

I thought I was going to reach through the radio today and grab Cokey Roberts by her chicken neck when she said that Pres O was heading back to Washington to "take control of the storm" and to "appear presidential" and "show the other guy that he is the Commander-in-Chief."

He's not playing a game you POS. He IS in charge. He is intelligent, thoughtful, brave, serious, and compassionate. He doesn't have to "appear" to be any of those.


I'm done with them. Tired of screaming at the radio in my car and slapping the off button. No more funding from me.

3. There are only 5 possible tie scenarios with

FL, OH, NC, VA, WI, CO, NV, IA and NH
All but 1 of those tie scenarios requires Romney to win OH, which we have lead seriously almost all of the polls there all year.

Everybody agrees we are close to locking up NV take that off the list of swing states just 1 scenario...

SO THE POINT IS...ITS NOT LIKELY...

4. NPR is big on the greatest false equivocation of all: both parties are at fault.

No. They're not. Sorry. It's simply not the case based on numbers, facts, and statistics.
