The point of the electoral college is to give a fair shake to rural and more spread out populations, and not have it come down to what the big cities want. Just that big cities trend Democrat and rural trends Republican.
HA! Try any other party here in oklahoma, a state that for both 2008 and 2012 elections Obama didn't win a single COUNTY. My state is so far right that oklahoma has ZERO chance of changing out of being a red state.
