As much as I loathe the man, I wouldn't hold this against him. If Thune wins, the percentage would be similar. The strength of our Republic is that smaller states are well represented in one legislative chamber. Without it, California and New York would start telling the nation how high to jump.

That's why leftists hate the way representation is allocated in the Senate and the Electoral College. Leftists beleive that radicals living in large urban areas ought to be able to dictate to the rest of the country because of the large number of votes they can accumulate there.
