Just One 2012 Election Nightmare Scenario: Electoral College Ties 269 to 269

Share article:

I’ll let Rachel Maddow share this one with ya…

At least that scenario offers Constitutional road maps for guidance. That’s better than a lot of the other nightmare scenarios that have been dancing around in my head of late.

Either way, sleep well!

    Nice! If I was President Romney with Vice President Biden I’d make Biden shine my shoes, send him to parades in the Arctic circle, and never ever allow him to speak again…

    Akkk, I couldn’t watch all that.I’m having a difficult time understanding your elections as it is…
    Now for good news, WNS is going to the Artic with Biden…no,oops sorry not that:)
    THIS!
    “The latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll finds President Obama had a lead of 53% to 42% among the 17% of the surveyed registered voters who said they had already cast their vote.

    In the crucial swing state of Ohio, a new Time poll finds Obama holds a two-to-one lead over Romney among those who have voted early, 60% to 30%.”

    @Brad:

    I second comment #2 from WeMustDoBetter09. I had just read that truly terrifying article published earlier today and came here to see if you had read it and posted your thoughts on it yet. For some reason the UKProgressive site is down at the moment but you can read a copy on google cache. Here’s the link:

    Retired NSA analyst proves how GOP has been stealing elections over last four years through statistical analysis

    Essentially done through e-voting machine manipulation.

    Is the wingnutsteve/Joe Biden Arctic Cruise open to the public or just to Washington insiders like Joe and Steve?

    Anything that involves Mitt Romney is scary…

    On another note, it’s interesting that my wife received her ballot in the mail (Reverside County) and she is registered as an Independent. I registered as a Democrat and did not receive my ballot. After I called, they said that they just forgot to process it correctly. Hmmmm. They claim they are mailing my ballot, and also offered voting with a provisional ballot.

    Damn thats good Ezekiel!

    Maybe that will get everyone in Ohio watching for that late night red shift that happens every election.

    Drinking “tea”? You must be some kind of liberal.

    It’ll be interesting to see what changes take place under President Mitt Romney. If it turns out he’s correct after all, great. If not, theories and approach proven wrong, may the US would take a different approach. Most of the world doesn’t want to find out and is distancing itself from the US and its currency:

    This is a very unlikely scenario because Romney the Idiot would have to carry Nevada to do it. The present bookmaker’s odds on Nevada are Dems: 2/7, Reps: 5/2 which works out to about a 62 percent chance that Obama carries Nevada, better odds than Iowa.

    Dear Americans,
    I like to share with you my fears, nightmare, whatever you name it.
    I’m today 55 years old, I was layoff from work late 2008, since then I’m struggling in searching for a job but failed.
    Therefore, I decided to take all my saving money to invest on something that will bring income to survive, i.e. make a respect living. Very quick I realized that the Obama administration took control on all banking investment. Which means, without the Fed. Approval, the bank will not be able to provide loans etc.
    In order to be eligible for a loan we should either have at least 3 years on W2 or self employed 3 years history, without that: don’t go to the bank.
    So, I could not get any loan for my investment plan although I had business plan, pros and cons etc. NO LOANS options. Therefore, due to my faith in my plan, I purchased an investment house (instead of 2 with loans) in very good area that since 2008 bring me very nice income I can depend on.
    Today, I have over 4 years self employed good history with excellent credit score, I start looking for loan to buy additional investment house. Up-to-date, October 2012, I failed to get any loan that will be less than 70% of the house value i.e. I’m willing to pay more than 30% down payment. I challenged few banks / brokers and realized again, that the Obama administration is blocking from small /mid businesses the loans option. When searching the internet I learn more and more that I’m not alone in my situation so, start digging why is that? I got a very clear answer from great documental movie that published not long time ago name: “2016 Obama”. I highly recommend you watching this movie, it is not political movie but a result of very famous writer deep investigation.
    I’m begging you, please don’t vote for Obama, put aside emotions, look at the macro, USA need someone to take us out from the bad economy Obama brought us, Romney is our hope!
    Ask yourself: in the past 4 years, what Obama did for us – “We the people”? nothing but dept and more dept…..
    No more punishment, no more lies, Say NO to Obama!
    I’m a simple concern American. Thank you.
