The one big glaring isuue that no one has yet brought up, both in this election and 2000's is that the proportion of the electoral college vote did not follow at all the popular vote. Obama won with a 57% popular vote but got 75% of the electoral. Gore won the popular in 2000 and lost because of electoral votes so in reality those 538 picked Bush.
