Eliminating the Electoral College would require a Constitutional amendment that could never be ratified. So whining about it is kind of like whining about the sun being hot in July. That's just the way it is.

Besides, I doubt there really is much conviction out there to do away with the EC. It's like term limits or the Supreme Court. People like these things when the deck is stacked in their favor and dislike them when it isn't. Revolutions are not born of teeter-totter issues.
