Can anyone name one example in the last 150 years where having the Electoral College resulted in the U.S. having a clearly better person elected president than the person who would have been president under a "plurality of the popular vote wins the presidency" way of doing things?

Why limit us to the last 150 years?

Oh, right - because if you go back much further you have to say that John Quincy Adams ought to have lost to Andrew Jackson.
