Longonfiber - Agree. Some days ago when it looked like Bush might win the popular vote and Gore the electoral college vote an advisor to Gore wrote a position paper defending the electoral college system. This was handed out to the press. This may be Gore's greatest contribution to democracy.

Fiber, agree on all 5 points. I also am 100% confident that Jeb Bush will work for an absolutely squeaky clean count. This is a new era...no Daley-style preplanned games here. Thanks for your thoughtful analysis. M20

Longonfiber: Even though My Pal Al apparently was the choice of the people but not the choice of the states, I agree with you: No need to overhaul the Electoral College. It has served this country well for 200 years. Going to a strict popular vote nationwide would open up a whole new set of problems. Anyway, if we dropped the Electoral College, it would limit our discussion possibilities on this thread. Re: "(4) George W. Bush will work quickly to unite the division." Nah. I doubt that'll happen.
