Wyoming voter weight, in the EC system, is 3.6 times higher than a California voter. Republicans like that because it gives them some hope in national elections, even though they get smoked in the popular vote.
If Republicans were winning the popular vote in a run away but losing because of the EC, they would be SCREAMING to change it.
We know that is true, just like we know how they would react if Obama had a mountain of classified documents in his shower (after claiming he gave them all back) or how they would react if Justice Sotomayor was being flown around the world by George Soros, or if he bought her mom's house or put her kids through a boarding school, etc.
Republicans have lost all credibility and Lisa Murkowski admits it. “I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.”
