The Republicans have a built in advantage in the House, largely due to more states being gerrymandered in their favour than the Democrats.

In the incoming House, the Republicans will control probably 28-30 state delegations. No one would dare not vote the party line, so a 269-269 tie is a certain Romney win.

For the House to elect Obama would require some very unlikely Democratic pickups, the sort of wave that would see them retake the House and there's no evidence of that.
