Well, the same thing happens as in 2000. This time Bush and Kerry are in a tie for the electoral votes in Minnesota. Not wanting to start another recount war, they go to the governer to ask what might be a less painful way to settle this.
"Well," the governer says, "Tell you what. Both of you pick a lake, and go ice fishing. Whoever has more fish at the end of the week will get the electoral votes."
Bush and Kerry agree, and wish each other well. The first day, both men go out. At dusk, Bush comes back with 10 fish, Kerry none. The second day doesn't look too well for Kerry either, as Bush comes back with 20 fish, and Kerry still has none. By the third day, Bush has a total of 60 fish, while Kerry still doesn't have a one.
Edwards pulls him aside, "John, now look. It's not looking good for you right now. Tomorrow, you go find out if he's cheating, and we'll see if we can fix this mess."
Next day, Kerry does so. He stays near enough so he can see Bush with a pair of binoculars. At the end of the day, he marches angrily back to Edwards.
"Well?" Edwards asked, "Is he cheating?"
"I'LL SAY!" Kerry fumed, "THE BASTARD HAS BEEN DRILLING HOLES IN THE ICE!!"
