I am actually hoping for the hilarity that would ensue from an Electoral College tie. This would lead to the House electing the President (Republican House = Romney) and the Senate electing the VP (Democratic Senate = Biden [note: Biden could not be replaced by Obama here; in the event of a tie in the Senate vote, Biden, as current VP, would have the tiebreaking vote]). Four years of a Romney/Biden pairing would be stupendous from a comedy perspective.

Given a tie, the other scenario would be an Electoral College voter being unfaithful and not voting as instructed by the state. The constitutional legal challenges that would follow would make Bush/Gore look like child's play.
