w.r.t Togo's post, I mentioned that in a thread yesterday. It is, however, enshrined in the US constitution that the electoral college is free to choose its own president, if it so wishes. Given how dear many on the Republican right of the US hold to their constitution, it would be ironic indeed if they suddenly stopped liking it when the outcome didn't suit them.
However, really it's just a technicality -- rather like this one, in fact. Due process should be observed, and people shouldn't be upset or angry when it is.
