Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics has a piece up about Michael Bloomberg and the 12th Amendment. That's the amendment which details how the House and Senate picks the President and Vice-President if no-one wins enough electoral votes. It's a great article which outlines and explains why the process is set as it is. I agree with Cost that Bloomberg, if he runs as a third party, would not be capable of throwing the election to the House. Nobody really knows who he is, and he hasn't done anything to make himself stand out. If Ross Perot and Ralph Nader were unable to do it, Bloomberg won't be able to.
