Fearless Election Night Prediction
How about this scenario for Election night.
Bush picks up WI, IA, and NM from 2000
Bush loses NH, and FL from 2000.
We find this out by Midnight, giving Bush 267 EVs and Kerry 265. Everyone thinks we are headed for a certain tie. AK is then called for Bush, and everyone in the MSM assumes HI will go to Kerry....they stall and stall and stall thinking their numbers are wrong, and then with a sad face and a destroyed heart Dan Rather has to announce at 5 AM EST that HI has in fact voted narrowly for George Bush.
GWB gets 4 more years 273 - 265.

I think your math is off. Bush starts at 278. If he loses FL, that puts him at 251. If he loses NH, that puts him at 247. If he wins WI, that puts him at 257. If he wins IA, that puts him at 264. If he then wins NM, that puts him at 269, enough to tie in the EC, sening it to the House and winning. HI is not necessary in that senario, although it would prevent it from going to the House.
By the way, I don't think Bush will lose FL. It is a much more sure thing than HI.
I hope this election goes better than the last one in that we'll know sooner who our next president will be...I have a feeling that it's going to be another national headache all over again. I could probably handle that as long as W comes out on top :^)
