If either candidate is ahead by such a small margin, why wouldn't the other candidate campaign the electoral college members from the 25 states that aren't bound to vote as the populace voted?

Jacob Weisberg suggested (on slate.msn.com) that Gore concede now and lobby the electoral college to support him. The problem is, the parties are extremely careful to select only highly loyal electors. If Bush wins Oregon, Gore would need to persuade 10 electors out of 278. No way.
