2. As well, you don't want to give the GOP

a popular vote win when Obama wins the EV. GOP Governors could try to overturn the EV for their state if it went Obama's way. In that way, every vote everywhere counts.

Even if they didn't try to pull that EV switch, a popular vote win gives Obama a better mandate. You don't want to give ammunition to John Boehner, if they keep the house, to obstruct for another two years.

Leave nothing to chance and hammer Romney for lying to you and the GOP for obstructing jobs.
