By campaigning, I meant more than just showing up for speaches. Often, they promise to do certain things for certain states (or certain aspects of the economy that effect a state). I remember learning about the electoral college in elementary school and always complaining about how unfair it seemed but the fact is that there can't be a perfect system without redrawing state lines.

I'm open to other systems, but getting rid of it all together would be "more unfair" IMHO.

PS - Tony, count your blessings. If it were upto the rest of us, nobody in California would be allowed to vote anymore!
