My "Worse Nightmare Come True" Scenario in case of Electoral Tie 269/269:
When the House decides the outcome for President (as it will in the event of an Electoral College tie), the Senate chooses the Vice President. But it's not the current Senate that decides, it's the newly elected Senate. And, if Democrats take control of the Senate, they ditch Edwards, and install Hillary, thus giving her a fantastic launch pad for her 2008 presidential campaign.

Even after losing seats in both houses of Congress, and the Presidency, Terry McAuliffe will say "it was a good night for Democrats".
