The House may have a Democratic majority, but that is not how the president would be chosen. It would be done by each state's House delegation. So while the Democrats may have more members, the Republicans may have more states with a Republican majority House delegation. Michigan, for example, has nine Republicans and six democrats in the House. This would give McCain the edge in Michigan. I am not sure what the current split is for all of the states, but it is close. Also, it would be the incoming House delgations deciding and not the outgoing delegations.
*edit* this is in response to Aiemond's post.
