Jill! I was thinking that the electoral college system was stupid like "Who ever???" After thinking about it I can not believe our fore fathers came up with something so fair for ALL Americans.

If we did not have the electoral college system candidates would never touch the states or cities with a few popular votes. They would carry their campaign to NY, LA, MIA, etc. in order to carry the popular votes. Also can you imagine the president or congress giving anything to states, cities will only a few popular votes.

After thinking about this, there is no other way. I think the news reporters in the next ten days should explain the electoral vote process so as all Americans have and opportunity to understand this process.

No matter who wins I think this is the only fair system for all concerned.

Geez! If only we had men today as smart and with foresight such as our fore fathers

PS...after posting I just read Abstract's explanation and I think we are saying the same thing.
