No. They'd be acting president until the House manages to choose. The House just keeps voting and voting until somebody cracks under the pressure, probably someone who'd been voting "against" his state, and probably a Democrat.

I don't think so, I was listening to Bill Schneider, CNN's Senior Political Analyst that if the House Ties once, then the Vice Presidential Candidate would be acting President until the 2008 election with no Vice President.

You could be right, but thats what I've been reading on CNN and other political web sites as well as watching on CNN
The House certainly voted quite often in the precedent election of 1800...
