WTA by state is the best way to do it, IMO. Popular vote would mean that Obama would have to campaign in maybe 2 counties. Cook, and Los Angeles.

Proportional EV wouldn't change anything. O would just need to campaign in Cook and LA counties to win.

Mathwise the fierwall requires only 20 some counties in order to win the election even now. Proportional systems have the effect of reducing margins while at the same time, reducing the percentage needed to win. I'm not sure you get that Obama had a 2 million vote lead in just LA and Cook counties.
