Can we get a do over?

Here's a post about what would happen in the not altogether unlikely event that there is a tie in the electoral college. The polls at the moment suggest an outcome like this.

Unfortunately for Kerry, a tie would mean almost certain defeat in the Republican dominated Congress. Conceivably then, he could win the majority vote and lose the election, just like Gore. Even outside this scenario the possibility of Kerry winning the majority and losing the election are better than is most years.
