Does it matter?
The Pubs will have the House, the Dems will keep control of the senate by a narrow margin, Neither candidate is a Leader so the real power is in the congress with both houses blocking each other. Nothing will change for another 4 years except the Deficit will grow the economy will stay weak at best.

As for the Electoral college, I don't see what is the problem with the system. The winner of the state gets those votes how hard is it. Yes, an elector is not actually committed to vote the way the state voted, unless dictated by that States own laws, and even then it is the state law the controls what the punishment to the elector is for not voting as Pledged to; HOWEVER there has never been an outcome in the election that resulted in a changed result due to an elector not voting the way they pledged, not even in 2000.
