You are right, we have a 1 seat edge but have a vulnerable seat in Simmons. But I think that if you start to wonder if these guys would hold rank, a better question would be about the Democrats in North Dakota and Mississippi, or should Stephanie Herseth win again in South Dakota.

They would be under a lot more pressure if the split delegation states were not stalemated.

There is no provision for breaking ties in state delegations.

I think the person who said it is the incoming Congress that votes was wrong though, which obviously changes my analysis a tad (SD would go to the Democrats).

I am pretty sure the existing Congress would be the one that would vote.

Right now we have 31 states with a GOP majority. Again, that should be enough for W to win, but at that point virtually anything could happen.

Dales, that would be me!

I still think I'm right, since the EV's are officially opened & counted in Congress (Joint Session) in January. The election cannot be thrown into the House until then.

By that time the new membership will be seated.
