if it is a 269/269 split....Nebraska's electoral votes have already been awarded...then it gets thrown into the Congress


If McCain wins the Omaha district by a close margin the dems will fight in the courts and streets to have it flipped to Obama giving him a 270-268 win.

The result would most likely end up like Florida in 2000 but they need the whole "these poor black/old/jewish voters were screwed" sentiment to be strong in the party because if it goes to congress it's a whole new ballgame.
