The problem with deciding Presidential elections via popular vote is that candidates would naturally campaign in urban areas with big media markets and their policies would follow suit. Better to have proportional electoral college votes in each state so you campaign everywhere.

I can't really shake my fundamental nature as a hillbilly suspicious of city-folk that try to impose. I don't really want to live in a world where those areas have even more power to dictate to people that choose to live outside there.
City-folk feel the same away about country-folk and they're probably both right. The way to solve the problem I'd imagine is to minimize the importance of the federal government and let the city-folk be governed by the city-folk and the country-folk governed by the country-folk.
