Believe it or not, an enormous amount of traffic to this site is asking the question, “what happens if neither candidate gets to 270?” We all know that means Obama wins given the current Congressional makeup.

Tony Rezko and Brookfield Mayor Jeff Speaker have something in common

November 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off
