Well, here is a not so unlikely 2004 result: if Bush loses WV and NH, arguably outside of FL the two states he is most likely to lose, then the result is a 269 to 269 tie!  No EV majority and it goes to the House, unless one faithless elector switches before the Electoral College votes in Dec.  
I think tremendous pressure will be generated for one elector to switch to the popular vote winner and save us from a Constitutional crisis.
