World Series Winner to Determine Presidential Election

Forget the polls, the pundits and the partisan hacks, here's how we'll decide who wins the Presidential election in the event of a tie in the electoral college votes.

The way I see it, it's Kerry from Massachusetts against Bush from Texas. I'm calling upsets here, and that seems to be telling me it's gonna be the Bosox against the Astros in the World Series. I'm not a Red Sox fan during the regular season, but I've become a big fan of Edward Cossette over the past year.

If there's a tie in the electoral college votes for President or if, for whatever reason, the voting machines don't work or chads hang, we won't go to the Supreme Court for a decision this time. Litigation is so divisive. Let's play ball. Baseball is the American game. So, if the American League team wins the World Series, it's Kerry for President; if the National League team wins, it's four more years of team Bush--unless either candidate wins the election decisively.
