The Washington Examiner takes a look at possible scenarios that might result in a 269-269 tie in the electoral college. As we all know, it takes 270 to win, so with a tie the Presidential election would be thrown into the House of Representatives. The Senate would elect the Vice-President.
I can see the House electing Romney, but who would the Senate elect? Biden? Harry Reed? Hillary Clinton? It would be a crap shoot for sure. The Dream Ticket would be for the House to elect Romney and the Senate to elect Obama. Not only is that result constitutional, it is plausible. I can recall a number of Vice Presidents that were not only well liked in the White House, they were mostly shunned. Many were scape-goated. I think that President Obama would make a perfect Vice-President to President Romney. He could be both shunned, scape-goated, and eventually indicted for felonies committed while he was the President.
Oh, and the riots. It would be a dream scenario.
I don't believe Obama should hold his breath waiting for a presidential pardon either.

With a Romney + Obama result, Romney would have to be VERY careful so as to duck all the assassination attempts.
