It is time to seriously consider another way to elect our president than the system we are using.
I hope you realize that as I explained the electoral college system, I was endorsing it. It still bothers me that Gore had more votes than Bush but the Supreme Court using the Electoral College system was able to but Bush in office instead of Gore.

Why does it bother you. The point is moot... had the general election mattered, Bush would of spent more $$$ and time on states like California... in other words, why bother with !0 vs 20% of the votes in those states, when in the end... those votes won't count.
Interestingly, and yet again the "mainstream" media decided to not make it an issue... California pushed to not be a winner-take-all state. The Democrats VEHEMENTLY blocked it... seems they don't want all votes to count.. even though 50 hanging chads were constituting the human balance in the Western Hemisphere in 2000.
