My brother delights in pointing out that the Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 in the 1960 World Series, but the Pirates won the title 4 games to 3.

Not a bad analogy to the Electoral College.

And why did the Pirates win? The Rules. (You know, those pesky details both sides agreed to beforehand).
