re: But then I doubt even a majority in Boston, Berkley, or Windham County VT, would actually vote for secession. Nationwide I doubt you would get over 1% if people thought it might really happen. (If they didn't think it would happen you might get a lot more than 1% as a protest vote.) I haven't said secession is likely or even possible. I just noted that your land area argument doesn't hold water. re: I wouldn't be against scrapping it but I'm not going to put a lot of energy in to the cause, and since it would need a constitutional amendment its probably not going to happen. I don't know. The political experts figured that the max popular vote margin that could result in an electoral college win for the opposite side was 1%, some said in a very unusual situation maybe as high as 2%. 3% is shocking to these guys, as it would be to the country if 75K folks had voted Kerry instead of Bush in OH. I think after the smoke clears the folks that think about this stuff between elections might push for change... it was close to a democratic train wreck. re: I'd hardly like it but I imagine many Democrats would consider it fair payback for last time (despite Bush's much greater lead in the popular vote). No doubt. John
