Atchung! Left sided VP ahead! Republicans and Rightists, shield thy eyes lest they burn from thy sockets!
Well... you were warned.
George W. Bush never should have been elected in the first place. He lost the popular vote. He got in because he won the electoral vote. Why? Because the popular vote doesn't mean jack in the eyes of the constitution.
The electoral colledge was created before the time of mass media and techniques making it easy for huge masses of people to vote existed. Their purpose was simple: Make as educated decision in the name of the people. They aren't needed anymore. Now, especially with the internet, telnet, usenet, and other networks, such as IRC, you can see all the views on everything. They are no longer needed. Had the people of the United States votes really counted, we might not be in the mess we're in today.
Just my thoughts, there are more, but they are opinions, not facts. The Only thing above that is not in the realm of fact is the obsoletion of electoral colledge. that an opinion, though there are plenty of people who feel the same way.
