The large heavily populated areas don't get ignored with the electoral college. The big states are still the biggest goals, but with the electoral college, candidates can't just ignore me (or more like people like me) and just hit the big population guys. And Kuci, it isn't just the farmers that would get ignored, its the 150,000,000 + that don't live in the biggest population areas.

This past election, my voted counted for absolutely nothing. I voted Bush in a state that went to Kerry. Am I upset that my vote didn't count towards anything? No, because my state mattered in the election. If there was no electoral college, my entire state wouldn't have mattered.
