It's no joke, it may be W, with Edwards in veep seat

BY CORKY SIEMASZKO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


How does a Bush-Edwards White House sound?

It could happen if lightning strikes today and President Bush and John Kerry wind up tied with 269 electoral votes apiece.

"There has never been a tie," said Walter Berns, an expert on the Electoral College at the American Enterprise Institute. "But if there is, the new House would pick the President in January. The new Senate would pick the vice president."

Republicans are expected to keep control of the House and would select Bush. But the Senate is up for grabs, and imagining a scenario with the Democrats winning, Edwards could become his veep, said Berns.
