In Event of a Tie or No Winner

No big info here, I am sure many, if not most or all, of you out there are aware of this:

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the president from the 3 presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State receiving one vote. The Senate would elect the vice president from the 2 vice presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President.

Office of the Federal Register

The possibility of a tied is rather slim. But, suppose sumething happens over the next 12 days that causes Nadar and/or Bednariak to pick up a few states, and neither Kerry nor Bush get 270? Again, slim chance. Bush as Pres and Edwards as VP?
