The electoral college is an anti-democratic anachronism that needs scraped in favor of pure popular vote. While in theory the ME-NE system is slightly more democratic, in practice it's only purpose for nationwide implementation is to ensure Republicans win the electoral college even if they lose the popular vote by several million.
If someone is willing to build on Libertas's work to determine at what point in the national vote (assuming each CD vote tracked national changes) it would take McCain to win the EC, or Gore in 2000, you'll see my point quite vividly.
