PR would give Jon Hustman and other Moderate Republicans a bump on primaries. It would be easier for them winning an election after all.

Electability would be a stronger issue in primaries because of PR.

PR = proportional representation (in primaries)?

What does that have to do with electing the President by the national popular vote? Tongue

   the only thing in the way of abolishing electorals is the senate, with senators looking to keep states with more cows than people (Montana) have as much political pull as Texas or New York!
   The other argument for electoral college is With popular vote, election season would focus on the coasts, and would hurt the economy of the middle america since no one is paying to advertise there! (imo however i don't give a crap about middle america in the first place)
