It also show the power of the system and how important it is to understand how to play which states. If CA (a "weak" Kerry state) were to go to Bush (which is unlikely, I know) the numbers would be really different.
instead of this: Kerry 312 Bush 215
we'd have this: Kerry 257 Bush 270
So basically, the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming (not to mention Alaska and Hawaii, with few votes and no neighbors) can go F themselves for all of their importance in a campaign...
