I'd be shocked.
As much as democrats complain about the electoral college it actually heavily favors them at the moment.
At best, romney MAY win the popular vote, but get crushed electoral vote wise.
I'd love to see that just to see Republicans whine about the electoral college being worthless and democrats supporting it.
There are 18 states who have gone democrat in the last 5 elections, and they have 242 electoral votes.
You need 270 to win.
While Republicans have 13 states that gurantee 102 electoral votes. That's a huge disadvantage.

Worth noting that while Obama trounced McCain in electoral votes. He actually only won the popular vote with 52%.
