Basically if we went to an entirely Popular vote, all a candidate would have to do is go to California, Texas, and Florida (and maybe throw in NY for good measure) and promise everyone there the moon and the stars to get their vote. Forsaking any other states and their own needs would make the other 46 or so states go hungry while the most populous states got rich. It would guarantee them a victory while ignoring the majority of the states needs.

Remember that the US is not really a dominance government, we are made up of a group of states that all have their own input into the way our country is to be run. Everything in our history was designed to keep it that way. If not we end up like other single government countries like China and India.

Just my $.02
