The Electoral College is a joke. The "large cities" wouldn't get "what they want" in opposition to rural Americans if a popular vote mattered. Instead, candidates for President would simply move mildly to the left as several million new, more liberal votes would matter, especially as voter turnout increases in urban areas (new york/boston/chicago/l.a./san fransisco/etc.) where votes will matter more.
I don't think anyone has advocated taking land-mass into account.
