If John Kerry had won Ohio in 2004 and thus the election he still could have lost the popular vote. If that had happened what would the response have been to it occurring two elections in a row with the opposite party winning each time? Perhaps a movement to abolish the electoral college?

nah, just written off as a coincidence and the status quo remains. If it happens in the fourth consecutive election, then perhaps there is something fishy going on.

The only thing that results, other than differences in policy emerging during a Kerry term and vastly different dynamics in 2008, will be partisans on either side reminding themselves of arguments made by one another in the wake of the 2000 election. The EC will endure, and, one way or another, 2008 will be decisive in its outcome.
