I think you might call him a Republican elected leader! You might call him the President of the United States! You can also call him the next President of the United States! Or you can just call him George.
The Electoral College out lived it usefulness long ago. Modern communication has eliminated any need whatsoever for it. I don't understand the problems some see in eliminating it (other than ammending the Constitution) - all that would have to be changed is to eliminate the two words "electors for" the candidate and put the candidate's name on the ballot. It would be really nice if there were someway to eliminated the time differences or voting hours between the East Coast and Hawaii - or at least between the East and West Coasts. Maybe the networks learned a lesson on predicting final outcomes - that might help.
