The Maine/Nebraska hybrid model -- where the winner of each Congressional district gets one electoral vote and the winner of the overall state gets the two electoral votes that correspond to the two Senate seats -- is probably the best model I've seen.

That would seem way too sensitive to gerrymandering to me. I like the statewide model much better.

Valid point, but the current statewide model has the same basic flaw as a national popular vote — the dominance of large metro areas in the election.

I think that you are greatly over-estimating the effectiveness of gerrymandering. It's not that easy to gerrymander with the myriad to lawsuits that result if the attempt is too obvious.
