The Republican margin in the House doesn´t really matter. When the House chooses the President, it votes by state delegations. Today the Democratic controlled House has 25 G.O.P. controlled delegations, 24 Democrat controlled and 1 tied.
We can't assume that each member will vote for their party. There are Western states, for example, that are overwhelmingly Republican in terms of presidential elections but are represented by Democrats. Are they going to vote for Kerry when the people of their state just gave Bush a 15% victory margin? Delaware is represented by a Republican, but would he support Bush when his state just overwhelmingly voted for Kerry?
