Looks like Wikipedia on the 2008 election page is predicting a four way race. With Greens winning!
Green - 183; Purple - 140; Red - 132; Yellow - 86
(Assuming I read that tiny pixel for DC as yellow correctly, of course)

Not sure I buy into it, but it's a hell of an interesting projection. I do wish they'd provided a "key" to this Electoral College map so I could see just what Green candidate is going to carry both California and Texas. Probably only a split ticket on the right can account for this. Looks like we're in a for a wild ride this time.

2. Except presumably the Democrats would still control the House of Representatives
therefore the President would chosen by that body.

3. give it another look
The color coding is arbitrary. It's just showing how many electoral votes each state gets.
