These states, like, Dick Cheney's Wyoming are over represented in the electoral college. Yet today people are suggesting that Obama has an advantage in the electoral college. The demographics of Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and North Carolina are tilting those states either toward Obama or at least making them tight races. Winning Oklahoma, Utah and Mississippi by 30 points in the end doesn't matter for much. Vladimirnoreply@blogger.com
