Question about electoral Tie.

[JimBob2232]

This is a VERY real possiblity. According to the recent tradesports projections, Bush has 254, kerry with 242. There are 4 toss up states (IA, OH, NM, WI). If bush wins WI and NM and loses OH and IA, both candidates end the day with 269EV.

I konw in this situation the president is chosen by the newly elected senate (and in this case bush would prevail), but according to the constitution the Vice President is selected by the House of Representitives. Per the constitution they get to choose from the "Top 3 electoral vote getters" Does this mean they get to choose from bush and kerry or from cheney and edwards?

I guess I am just confused as to whom can become VP under these rules. I dont think a bush/edwards administration would be too hard to fathom, but a bush/kerry one...now that would be interesting to say the least.
