The best of both worlds would be to follow the leads of Maine and Nebraska. Keep the electoral college and award the votes per Congressional district with an additional two votes going to the overall winner of each state. That would really bring all states into play and make for some great drama on election night. Imagine 2-3 districts in red states putting the Democratic nominee over the top or the Republicans concentrating on a handful of districts in NY or CA to wrap up a win. This would truly take Presidential politics down to the local level.
