I guess it hasn't occurred to this moron that without the electoral college, both candidates would have campaigned with very different strategies, and that the popular vote results may have been dramatically different.For instance, Wyoming--the state sneeringly referenced by the author--would never, ever see a presidential candidate within its borders. The Electoral College makes each state a potential key to victory, regardless of its population. I doubt that the smaller states would have ratified the Constitution in the first place had the case been otherwise.

And Bush would have garnered many more popular votes from California and New York by campaigning and advertising there much more heavily.
