I do think Bush will carry Florida.
As for the popular vote vs the Electoral College vote, one must look to the creators of the Constitution. They had similar concerns, albeit different circumstances. Should the concentrated urban population govern the country? Should not the more under populated areas which have a far greater proportion of the land have a say? The former would always dominat3 the latter. Is this fair or conscionable?

I think there is great danger in abolishing the Electoral College.
