Craziness!

Some excerpts:

If Bush wins...
The long-delayed assault by American and Iraqi troops to take Fallujah is widely expected and possibly attacks on other towns, such as Ramadi.
Also likely to push for another energy bill, which may enrage the environmental lobby again trying to drill for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, after his first attempt failed to make it into law.

If Kerry wins:
He has also pledged to bring his health care plan to Congress within 100 days. He has said this will be his first major attempt at new legislation.
He may also engage America in talks to renegotiate some of the terms of the Kyoto environmental pact and wants to set a goal for the US of eventually becoming energy independent.

If it is a deadlock...
During any legal fight Bush, as the incumbent, will continue in office with Kerry's team likely to set up its own 'government in exile'.

A straight tie in the electoral college would mean that the President will be chosen by the House of Representatives, while his Vice-President is chosen by the Senate.

The House is likely to still be Republican controlled, meaning Bush would be selected.

Bizarrely, if the Senate fell to the Democrats it could conceivably choose John Edwards as Bush's Vice-President.

1. Kick!

Yeah, so I kicked my own thread, it's like tootin' my own horn, I know.

But this article brings up some interesting things to think about.
I renamed the thread, hopefully it'll do better this time...
