...closest presidential contest since 1976, maybe since 1960. And when the race is that tight, suddenly the unthinkable becomes thinkable. What if one candidate loses the popular vote but wins the Electoral College vote? The fantastic, a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College, is also possible--a scenario that would put the election in Congress's hands and plunge the country into a constitutional crisis...

One of many ways it could happen: Gore wins California, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

If there was really bad news out there, goes the reasoning, they would have warned us like Intel did. The bad scenario is that, well, they didn't. And that six months after those high-flyers like Yahoo, Amazon, Cisco, AOL got shot down in April and for the most part stayed down, there's still a whole lot of shakin...
