Don't count on that....
You are missing a very important part of this... That being the combined
House and Senate will include all outgoing senators and Congressmen, as
well
as all incoming from both sides...

The House would decide before it switched hands, should your impossible
fairytale even occur.



Just remember, a landslide on either side by the Democrat Party can very
easily remove any margin of certainty.

It wouldn't matter, since the House would vote before Congress changed
hands.


And the fact that the Congress and Senate will have to vote what their
particular area voted, and not by party line...

Granted, they aren't required to, but should they wish to get elected
again,
they would need to.


Wait just a minute. If a Republican Congressman was already voted out of
office (as predicted in your scenario), why would he/she give a **** about
getting elected again.
If Bush gets 50% of the vote, he wins.

Yes, of course, but once again, you've completely missed the

If

he

simply

can't be said to be doing poorly


Absolutely absurd.

In a three-candidate race, 50% wins.

Not necessarily. I take it you are assuming that each one will at
least get some votes. As with assumptions, and particularly YOURS,
you
could likely be wrong.

Wanna bet? If even *one* person votes for Nader (ie--one of those
Palm
Beach idiots punches the wrong chad again), and Bush gets 50%, then
he

wins.

Man, how stupid ARE you, NOYB? That is nothing more, as I stated
above, than an assumption. Sure, I'll bet! As YOU said, *IF* one
person votes for Nader. How do you know that will happen? As I said,
you are wrong. Wrong because you are assuming that each candidate
will
get SOME VOTES. Jeez, I hate repeating myself, but your answer is
exactly what I pointed out!!! If one person doesn't get any votes,
then, alas, 50% DOES NOT win the election. If you don't get it, I
can't make it any clearer, and you are utterly dumb.


So what are the odds that Nader won't vote for himself? How about
the
odds
that some person somewhere won't accidently punch the wrong chad or
the
wrong computer key? I'd say the odds are about...zilch.

If Bush garners 50% of the vote, he wins.



Not if he loses in the electoral college, dummy.

basskisser isn't arguing about the electoral college. Nevertheless, if
Bush
gets 50% of the electoral college vote, he still wins. There are 538
electoral college votes up for grabs this year. If Bush gets 50% (269
votes) and Kerry gets 269 votes, the Republican-controlled House breaks
the
tie...and guess who they'll choose? If Bush garners 50% of the vote, he
wins.
