And Hite i agree with you, the electoral college has to go. It does not acurately represent the citizens the way it should. Instant run-off voting is probably the best alternative. With the way the electoral college has been producing so much controvercy in the last few elections it seems that it may not have long to live. Unfortunately people are afraid of change. They think the world will come to an end if something is changed with the way government works. Even if the current problem(s) are blatantly obvious and screaming out for change.
It's like trying to convince a child to eat something for the first time. "Here try a shrimp" .. "I don't like shrimp" .. "But you've never had shrimp before, how do you not like it?" .. "I just dont like it! I dont like it! i dont want it!" .. yet the second they try it they're crying out for more.
