Surprisingly, yes..
Sure, it's a long shot. But more possible than you might think.
Or, so I claim, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer...
Excerpt:
...if the race is close, and the "third" candidate manages to take a couple of states, it's possible nobody wins a majority. The 12th Amendment would then send the election to the House of Representatives, where voting is one-state, one-vote, and the possible candidates would be restricted to the top three Electoral College vote-getters. Up until now, we have been focused on a brokered convention. But if an outsider catches fire, there might be a brokered election. Remember: The Republicans control 32 House delegations outright. If David French wins just two or three states, he could still wind up as president.

No one outside the Beltway Neoconservative warmongers will vote for French! He is already being widely dismissed as a last gasp desperate effort of Bill Kristol to remain in control of US DISASTROUS foreign policy decisions.

I could possibly win also.
Publication lag is a bitch.
