I expect grave trouble if the race is as close as predicted, with both sides looking for state results that can be challenged and possibly thrown out. However, there is little doubt that if the ultimate decision is left to the House of Representatives in Congress, and I believe it is the current House Representatives who vote, that Bush will be declared the victor. And if the decission is made by the U.S. Supreme Court, I would expect a majority to vote in favor of Bush regardless, or even irregardless, of the merit of the arguments.

That's all the more reason for Democrats and their allies to work even harder in the time that remains for a clear cut victory.
