Default Alaska for Obama?

With the stunning indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens (R AK), it's become
more plausible that Alaska will go for Obama (in addition to changing
the name of the Anchorage airport).

Alaska has three electoral votes and a population of about 684,000. An
Alaska resident has nearly three times the voting power for president of
a resident of California, and MORE than three times the voting power for
president of a resident of Texas.

In my dreams, Obama will win with a majority of electoral votes and a
minority of popular votes. That would be sweet revenge. I can already
hear the screams from the hypocritical right wing.

Maybe such an outcome would result in reform of the stupid electoral system.
