Simply putting Pennsylvania on the same system as is used in Maine and Nebraska (one EV per congressional district, two for the state) would be the equivalent of tossing a live hand grenade into DNC planning.
Republican have the votes in the legislature, if they have the balls. Leave all the Liberal Philadelphia suburbs, the rust belt counties around and including Pittsburgh in the totals, but exclude Philadelphia only and Pennsylvania is carried by Bush with 52.36% of the vote.

Same thing here.
Take out Detroit City(leaving rest of Wayne County which went 54-55% Kerry)
Bush 50.83% - wins by 120,000
Gore 48.15%
Take out Wayne County completely
Bush 51.10% -wins by +175,000
Kerry 47.94%

Yup. Every blue state where the Republicans are in control of both houses of the legislature should go to the Maine/Nebraska system. Sure, the demonRATs will do the same in red states where they control both houses (are there any?) But the change would favor the GOP anyway.
