Well the more I look at it the more I don’t think it matters, either the politician panders to the most populated states or the more populated cities. Gore almost won in 2000 by going after the populated cities, he only had 676 counties while Bush had 2,436 but Gore still had the popular vote.

The entire system is irritating me today after doing some reading. Gore won Michigan after winning Detroit and the same thing happened with our governor election. There are so many people in the big cities that it doesn’t matter what the rest of a state wants. Win 1 city in most states and you take the entire state, popular or electoral vote. It wouldn’t be an issue if we had a slam dunk leader run on either side.
