At this point, I would pick Jim Trafficant over Obama.
The United States presidential election of 1876 was one of the most disputed and controversial presidential elections in American history. Samuel J. Tilden of New York outpolled Ohio's Rutherford B. Hayes in the popular vote, and had 184 electoral votes to Hayes's 165, with 20 votes uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute in three states: Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina; each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was declared illegal (as an "elected or appointed official") and replaced. The 20 disputed electoral votes were ultimately awarded to Hayes after a bitter legal and political battle, giving him the victory.
An informal deal was struck to resolve the dispute: the Compromise of 1877. In return for the Democrats' acquiescence in Hayes's election, the Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South, ending Reconstruction. The Compromise effectively ceded power in the Southern states to the Democratic Redeemers.

If this race ends up being that close, I propose a duel. The last man standing wins, and with any luck, we would have the choice of two completely new candidates!edit on 4-11-2012 by Sissel because: (no reason given)

I wouldn't count the American people out just yet. I saw a news report where people are standing in line for 8 hours to vote and they are just glad to be able to stand there and vote. I am not sure they all had homes to go to or phones you could have called to gauge their affect in a poll. Trust me there is going to be a groundswell of the disenfranchised in this campaign. They are used to suffering. They won't mind a little more to be heard.
