Lieberman Wins: Still a Liberal
The Republicans have given up on the North East. The party fears it so palpably that they support center-left candidates who disagree with nearly every plank of the Republican message.
This is going to be a problem for the party in 2008 with laws eroding the power of the electoral college pending in many liberal states with large populations (of illegal immigrants and welfare recipients).

if a liberal state dissolved its electoral college or split its electoral vote along popular vote lines, wouldn't it help republican presidential candidates?

That's not what they're doing. They're saying that they will give all their electoral votes to whichever candidate wins the popular vote.
So Florida 2000 goes to Gore.

After following this initiative's progress in California, I believe earlier legislation called for the possiblity of splitting the electoral vote of the member states of this agreement proportionally to the "national popular vote."
I believe the most current version of this concept in California is AB 2948, which won't become effective unless "states possessing a majority of the total electoral votes have ratified the compact."

If that legislation goes into effect in California, democrats will never win another presidential election.
