An Obama - Palin ticket?

Here's an interesting article discussing the possibility of this year's election ending in a 269 - 269 electoral college tie: 269 tie: An electoral college 'doomsday'?

The scenario seems realistic...but here's the deal: If there was a tie, the vote goes to the House of Representatives to decide - which would likely give it to Obama. But here's the HIL-arious part...the issue would go to the senate to decide the VP (remember, the VP is actually the President of the Senate). Since Democrat/Independent Joe Lieberman would vote for McCain, it would make a 50-50 tie in the Senate - meaning Dick Cheney would cast the deciding vote - likely for Sarah Palin to become Vice President. HAHA. Awesome.

If it wasn't for the fact Obama would likely become president, I would root for this scenario. It seems there is a just irony to Dick Cheney picking the next VP.
