This one is plausible, but not as likely as your scenario.

If it had been Romney on the ticket, possibly, but I still NH would have gone McCain.

I think it almost inevitable that Obama would win if it goes to the house and his running mate would be chosen by the Senate.

Is that really inevitable?  I don't have my copy of the constitution handy, but if I recall correctly the president is chosen by the house, but it is one state equals one vote.  I know the democrats will almost certainly have more congressmen, but will they control more state delegations?

Won't that change before the election is certified?

The Democrats have a 27-21 lead, with 2 tied, so they should win that vote.
