Romney is probably advertising all over the place and artificially boosting his national numbers. He has the money to burn.

If Obama was after a popular vote margin, he would live in California. And he would not have visited IA and NH one time.

In the future, if we go to a pop vote strategy that will really favor us. Under the current system small rural, white states have way too much power in the electoral college.

Could you imagine an Obama GOTV effort in Los Angeles? Game! Set! Match!
