How would presidential campaigns change if there was a national popular vote?

I actually think the GOP would get a slightly higher percentage of the black and hispanic vote. They would be forced to campaign in cities and places where the GOP message is never heard.

Campaigns would be even MORE expensive and subject to more outside influence.

I'm not sure about that.  I think it quickly turns into an urban vs. rural/outer suburbs turnout battle and both parties get more extreme.  California and Texas would quickly be driven into Vermont and Oklahoma territory.

I can see that too.

Campaigns would cost more and there would be more PAC money
