Could somebody post a plausible tie scenario. I had one where Kerry takes the Left coast, Northeast, Wisconsin, Michigan, Hawaii and Florida. Bush takes everything else and it's 269-269. But that doesn't account for the split electoral vote in Maine.

"Could somebody post a plausible tie scenario."

Not very likely, but I guess its *plausible*.
Kerry Takes:
WA
OR
CA
MN
IA
WI
IL
FL
PA
Hawaii
and all of New England


Bush takes:
OH
NM
and all others.

Right, add in Illinois,Minnesota.

269 269. And as you pointed out, Bush COULD take 1 elector from maines 2nd district.

Kerry would throw himself off a bridge.
