Here's something interesting I read at the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7626471.stm. What if it comes to a 269 to 269 tie? Either the US will be plunged into chaos or Nancy Pelosi will become the first female president (albeit temporarily).

On a more serious note: what is Palin's influence on the pundits' eyewear? Colbert seems to have changed to Kawasaki's, whereas Olbermann, apparently, doesn't want to be caught dead in anything slightly Palinish and now wears the most seriously rimmed glasses he could find. Thank God, Maddow uses contacts .
