Romney may win the electoral vote but I doubt he stuffs the President on the popular vote. The big states are too lopsided.

Seems like a fair trade to me.

If there is a split between electoral and popular, it would probably by the other way, unfortunately. If Ohio goes Obama and we don’t put a strong of other states together to make up for it, the potential is there for an Obama electoral win and Romney popular votes win. The other way seems unlikely. The polls show Romney with a popular vote edge, with questions remaining about electoral votes. If he surges ahead to win the last critical swing states, I see little likelihood of a popular vote loss.

In California, Obama’s approval is only 50.1 percent, according to Gallup — so I don’t see how this state contributes so mightily to a victory in the popular vote.

I think you mean that the larger parasite states are too lopsided: Illinois, California & New York/New Jersey. The little parasite states (Rhode Island, Vermont, etc.) are pretty lopsided as well.
