If we have learned nothing else from this debate, it is that a large segment of our population will never grant Bush legitimacy.

But I think that once the pundits start pundifying, and explain the Constitutional right/duty of the state legislatures to pick Electors, it won't seem any screwier than the Electoral College itself.

One thing I thought was interesting was the looks on the legislators' faces when the law professors told them that it was not only their Constitutional prerogative but also their duty, and only their duty, to appoint the Electors, not subject to any oversight by courts - you could see the light dawning. And of course politicians love power. Even the Democrats had a little gleam in their eyes. -g-
