It would be interesting to see how campaign tactics would change, not being
able to focus on just "battleground" states. I don't recall seeing even one
presidential ad, but I don't watch a lot of TV so there probably were at
least
some showing here.

It seems to me that the candidates would make many appearances in the major
population centers, and few, if any, elsewhere.

They do that now, but mostly just for fund raisers.

A handful of major urban areas
would decide the pesidency.

Actually, they majority of voters would decide it regardless of where they
lived. The presidency is a national office, the states already have senators
and congressmen to advance their specific agendas.
