Well I am a Dem who grew up in a small state, which very much shaped my view on how important states are as states.

Even though I have been "burned" by the electoral college in national elections, I still favor keeping the electoral college, in part because I want to keep the US a FEDERAL system in which states are actually states and can check on federal power. 

States and state power/rights are increasingly invisible as as states as the population becomes more mobile.
