Let me clear up a little misconception from earlier in this thread:
Colorado got a lot of attention this year. More then I have ever seen.
Two reasons: 1) A new senate seat up for grabs (Nighthorse-Cambell did not seek re-election) and 2) Bush was not "ahead" in this state so it has been pretty close with numerous visits by both candidates, etc.
That being said, I live here and when I vote later today, it will be a resounding "NO" on 36.
I don't know if this is a bad idea (i.e. splitting electoral votes) but unless every state adopts the idea at the same time, I am flatly opposed. Also, they should either split the vote or not; I disagree with the "option" to split whether exercised or not.
The fact that this initiative isn't being presented in "Kerry" states tells me the true underlying reasons behind a proposal like this.
/correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the impression that even the states that can split their vote, haven't.
