>Interesting scenario if it went to the newly-elected Senate to choose the VP sometime in early January: A 50-50 party-line tie vote for Vice-President, with VP Al Gore then casting the tie-breaking vote to elect someone as Vice President, while the House would likely choose his opponent as President. Gore, of course, could not cast that vote to elect himself VP again, since he can't serve more than two terms. What a bitter irony that would be.

So, you are talking Bush-Lieberman? Actually kind of interesting, and might work well enough. Beats the heck out of Bush-Gephardt :)
