But why do people bleive big states need more power? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 06/11/2012 06:31:22 PM
The system was designed the way it was for a reason and those reasons are still valid even if sometimes it pisses off the side that loses. I really don't see how the country would be improved if the canidates had to raise enough money to play in the DNY, Chicago, LA and Dallas markets.

While watching CNN this morning I noticed that the candidates focus on the battle ground regions inside of the battle ground states. If you look they keep going back to the same 7 or counties in Ohio that are considered toss up and not the large population centers. If that is true at the state level why do we believe it won't be true at the national level?
