Can anyone provide a good argument for retaining the Electoral College?

How about: it's worked for 235 years, and all in all, that's a pretty good record.
The Roman Empire worked a lot longer than that, so I guess that's a good argument for us going to an imperial system of government. (I'm actually guessing that you were kidding, though.)
