[QUOTE="dogs4thewin, post: 77632654, member: 306387"] Why spend resources at places less likely to matter. Most states lean one way or the other anyway, so even with a popular vote system why would you spend a lot of money in a state where you KNOW most people do not support you. Like I said in many (if not most states state elections are the same way in tat the state is so red or blue that the opposing party (generally) has a hard time getting in office. Even with the house ( which is a federal or state office, but whose members are chosen on the local level VERY few districts tend to be competitive . There are 435 seats in the US house every two years all 435 of them are up for grabs yet there are MAYBE 20 districts that are competitive as far as whether a Republican or democrat will get the seat.
