Electoral College Pros:
Significantly more fun from an armchair politico perspective.
In close elections recounts are localized and thus cheaper/easier.
Don't have to send reporters to those pesky safe states like Wyoming and Connecticut.

Electoral College Cons:
Getting only 4 out of 60 elections wrong may be "pretty good", but last I checked 4 is 4 more than 0.
Gives certain demographics/states disproportionate power (albeit the IA/NH primary system is arguably worse for this).
I'm in California and I want attention.
