"A possible president who is not the actual majority choice of the nation. " Bush won almost 60% of the states. Have you seen the national county by county map? It was a Bush landslide by that metric. The folks who started this country were geniuses IMO. The candidates could just promise all the goodies to the population centers if it were just left to the popular vote. "Funny how this doesn't feel like democracy." That might be because it isn't, and wasn't the design of the system. Regards, Barb

I'm truly shocked at the entire voting and tabulating process as run by 50 states..... Rampant incompetance, you'd think the media thought this up for cliffhanging content. Here's a funny post on PSIX (like EXDS, except it's a value): "Mule, you have to consider strict technical indicators factored through a numerical mean of Vic's price targets. Once isolated, use the 50 day moving average of the NASDAQ QQQ as a control valuation, play that against the P6 beta and movement in the P6 bond junk bond prices and one clearly arrives at a 52 week price target of $57.00, the middle of Vic's picks. Don't be fooled by the Deviant variant to the scientific price calculation elucidated above, in other words the exagerated short term forces of commoditization of access revenues and TNS weakness -- that would be a classic mistake. You're probably a little confused, so I'll put it in layman's language. In simple terms, what you see now is the classic bait and switch; the PSIX stock price of 1 7/8, is thrown out before the market like the marble under the third shell of a carnival shuffler. This marble, though, will quickly disappear after the market shuffle to be replace by the mid level $20 marble, which as you know, is dirctly tied to the $57.00 marble. In conclusion, if you buy the $1 7/8 marble, and hang through the shuffles, you get a $57.00 one. But if you get discouraged following the marbles, and Sell $1 7/8 marble, you fall for the bait and switch, b/c if your remember, you actually paid $20. for that marble. Simple market physics, my man. ----------- Attribution: Smithbaltimore on YaaHoo More content: Message 14771480

Druss, If you read the papers of the Founding Fathers, we were never intended to be a 'majority rule' country. We were intended to elect people that could make rational decision...regardless of the emotion of the moment. They knew that masses are easily manipulated...as we see daily in the market. The technology is available for popular vote...but do you want you destiny controlled by someone that would type Go XXXX on some stock board? Majority rule is Yahoo. Is that desireable? Not Saying I like the system....not saying anything but someone should do a little thinking. Thinking never hurts. We have examples in history of the slippery slope and what a charismatic leader can do. I want a majority....but I want them to be thinking. That seems to be rare nowadays. JMHFO. lee
