If for any reason Obama can't become President prior to Jan 20, the selection process varies depending on the date.
In no instance, however, will a Republican be selected, That includes Ron Paul for those getting themselves all worked up about another nutty "Ron Paul is going to be President" fantasy.
The 2008 election is over, folks. Obama won, McCain lost, and Ron Paul was out of the running a long time ago. Time to start thinking about 2012.
As par usual, your full of it again. The election is not over, and nobody has won. Electoral votes are what elect the president, and they have not been cast yet.
Do you EVER have any corelation to reality with your opinions?
