Hmmm, no still doesn't hold. The most populous states have wildly different philosophies and interests. Say you wanted to cater to Californians in general because California has the most people in it. You quickly realize the problem that the current California government has, nobody can agree on anything!

Besides, by focusing on the populous states, you are going to have a handful of states most of which want to go in different directions. How are going to cater to both New Yorkers and Texans? To both Californians and Floridans?

Even if we assume, that the candidates will focus on the most populous states, that is still for the better because now, there will be about 6-8 states to jockey over rather than the what....two states of Ohio and Florida that have decided the past 4 elections now?
