<<Such a tortured analysis.>> Not really. It's quite simple. Either you have a Government whose Political Representative's and Leaders are elected by the "one man,one vote" count em' up and the one with the most votes wins,theology.. Or you Don't.. It's actually quite simple.. Anything less than that.. Is not a Democracy.. Lot's of countries claim they are a Democracy.. But they really are not.. <The Electoral College is elected. Each state has its own presidential election, and we vote for the electors, not the presidential candidates.> Really.. I have NEVER marked a ballot for a member of the Electoral College. *HAVE YOU??* dailynews.yahoo.com <The electors range from politicians to homemakers. They were chosen by the state Republican Party and appointed by the governor.> They don't really sound 'Elected' to me?.. <And anybody who attempts to distill the essence and nuances of our great Constitutional system into a one-phrase dictionary definition does a disservice to those who established this great country > I am not trying to do a disservice to anyone.. My point is that if you consider that the US is a true "democracy".. Then, as they said in the movie "The Holy Grail".. "You are only foolin' yourself!!! PCSTEL
