If the electoral college is abolished it is go time. I'd gladly fight and die to preserve the last real vestige of the power of the Several States.
I have a feeling that if Romney wins the popular vote and Obama wins the electoral college, you'll see a lot of FReepers screaming for its abolishment.

Unfortunate but true. FR hero, Fred Thompson is an active spokesman for the national popular vote. Here in Michigan our (thankfully former) state GOP chair and national committeeman, Saul Anuzis was quietly slapped down for promoting it from his official position.

And I know it's not a popular opinion in these parts, but I've always favored elimination of the Electoral College.
A big part of the reason is because I abhor the two parties but a third party/parties will always have trouble getting a foothold in presidential races while the EC is in existence.

Nope. Not me anyway. The electoral college prevents the domination from being dominated by the coastal mega-cities. And, if Obama wins the College, we’ll deserve it.
