God save us from pure democracy! What if the majority of Americans were Islamists? Check out "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer -- we need an enlightened elite to serve as a counterweight to majority opinion.
The electoral college is just the safe guard that protects us form this, not now but in the near future if we don't get our immigration shit together and close our boarders!!!
I believe the electoral college was originally intended to aid in gaining fare representation for the voters in hard to reach areas. And ensure fairness across the land. It is horribly out of date and has failed us in the worst way. How can this not be obvious to everyone? I think my grandchildren...will be paying for the insanity of the Bush admin's nepostism and ineptitude in a big way...
Thanks for a good laugh. No, not a good laugh. The fact is, many of us will never get over the way Bush became president and we need to do everything we can to encourage the Democratic party to finally unite behind one candidate and get some brains back in the Whitehouse.
