Oddly, it is making me start to believe in the electoral college system. If it wasn't for the electoral college, this process would be going on nationwide.

I agree. My eyes have been opened.

This morning someone on TV mentioned a proposal to change the electoral college to district, not state. That might be a reasonable middle ground. I'm on record here as having skipped the Presidential choice when I voted. One reason I could do that is that I knew my vote didn't count because my state would easily belong to Bush. So I didn't need to hold my nose and pick. Knowing one's vote doesn't sure distorts the results.
