Spitzer explains what happens in a tie

Bottom line: "As a result, if there is a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College, the next president could be Mitt Romney. And the vice president would be Joe Biden. Wouldn't that be fun!

Maybe it's time for a constitutional amendment to rethink some of this."

3. Well, here's a way to get one....

Go to a bar and say to the first patron you see: "Bet you a drink you don't know what happens if there is a tie in the Electoral College and I do."

Knowledge is power.

4. Better yet I can bet my hubby a new wedding ring...

5. It's a renewable resource!

You can bet the mate, at the bar and, as long as your marks don't compare notes, here, there and everywhere.

6. At least with Romney-Biden, I will have a consolation

prize-hoping that Biden will drive Romney insane.

8. Here is how Romney could be picked by the House but Obama end up being President

The House picks Romney
The Senate picks Biden
Romney is removed, resigns, or dies
Biden becomes president
Biden picks Obama for VP
Biden resigns
Obama becomes President
Obama puts Biden back in as VP

LOL

Don't worry everyone, President Obama will win re-election with plenty of electoral votes to spare
