The electoral college was put in effect with the hopes from our founding fathers that the House would elect the gov. They figured that candidates from each state would run, win their respective state, and no one would get enough votes letting the house decide the president. They just didn't trust the people. However, little did they know they were just giving birth to what is known as the two party system. It's not the best way, but it's still a pretty damn good one. By splitting up states we'd only be making it harder for one of the main 2 to get elected by the people if the country was divided 50-50 like the last election.
In New Jersey, where Kerry will win, i have seen numerous Bush ads but no Kerry ads. Not sure if its the programs i watch or just he figures he's already got it won.
I look at polls but essentially they're always changing and the only ones that matter are the ones in November...
