WI in 2000 election President Bush ends with Lieberman as VP?

In 2000 Presidential election Bush asked Cheney to be his running mate, and Cheney was nominated by voice vote. While the US Constitution does not specifically disallow a president and a vice-president from the same state, it does prohibit members of the electoral college from casting both of their votes for persons from the same state. Accordingly, Cheney—who had been a resident of Texas for nearly 10 years—changed his voting registration back to Wyoming. Had Cheney not done this, either he or Governor Bush would have forfeited their electoral votes from the Texas electors, a situation which—given the eventual razor-thin margin of victory for the Republicans that year—would have almost certainly resulted in Democratic Vice-President Lieberman serving under a Republican President Bush...
WI this happens indeed and Bush is stuck with Senator Lieberman as his VP? How is that affecting USA? Any thoughts?
 
Had Florida's votes somehow not been counted (on the grounds that there was indeed no legitimate Presidential vote in that place) the election might have gone to the House.

Now I think GW Bush wins in the House of Representatives. In the Senate from 3-20 January 2001 the Senate was 50 50 and the casting vote belonged to Vice President Gore.

An even more interesting version of this theme, assuming that it is clear that the Electoral College might not make a clear decision would be for Gore to get it agreed he would be voted for in the case of both offices, with the intention of nominating Lieberman under the 25th amendment if he won both.

This could leave President GW Bush and Vice President Gore.
