I think they would go for a compromise and elect Bloomberg or another democrat that didn't even run.

Bloomburg wins, its that simple.  We won't give someone who had no real reason to be given the white house the election *coughBushcoughHayescoughcough*  Simply put most Kucinich voters would have rather had Bloomburg than McCain, therefore the Kucincich EC votes go to him, and the Congress picks between the two.

In your scenario Bloomberg wins regardless, as there is no way a Democratic House would elect a Republican President.  Your scenario assumes that the Kucinich electors cast their electoral votes for Bloomberg.

But in my scenario, McCain wins 269 EV, Bloomberg wins 250 EV, and Kucinich wins 19 EV from the Electoral College electors, therefore the House would choose from McCain, Bloomberg, and Kucinich.



yeah, he is saying that the democrats in the house would go for Bloomberg because they want to keep their jobs.
