it was one of those posts about which I never could decide whether it was serious.  but the scenario was a 269-269 tie, which would throw it into the house, guaranteeing a Bush victory.  But the eighth recount in the 2nd CD of Nebraska would evenually be determined to be favor Kerry.  Final vote:  Bush 268   Kerry 270.

the NE-cd2 theory was supported by statistics, but it was still wacky.

Certainly there will be recounts ...

Bush will demand it, win or lose.

Why?
If he loses, he'll have to use some of his gold to make some rules so he wins.

If he wins, it won't be enough to fulfill his ego. So he'll request recounts in  close Kerry states (Penn? NM? Wisc? who knows)  so he can snag some extra EVs and inflate his ego. So he can have a "mandate from heaven", to make war on whatever country that he feels like.

I'm dead serious about that theory.
