True, but there are mathematical limits to how much one can lose in the popular vote majority and still win in the electoral vote. It could be that seven or eight states, such as OH and IA, decide everything.

"True, but there are mathematical limits to how much one can lose in the popular vote majority and still win in the electoral vote." In a two-way election, 47.9-48.4 aka 2000.
It will never be equaled or surpassed...Unless Mitt does this:
2008 + IN, NE1, NC, FL, VA, OH, NH = 270EV and loses PV by a full point 48-49.
