Sparsely populated states outnumber densely populated states, so I doubt you will ever see that Constitutional amendment pass. Funny, that. The popular vote can't even amend the Constitution, much less elect a President.

But that's the way it was set up from the beginning.

This election could break big for one of the candidates. My suspicion is that if kerry catches on at all and bush appears failed and carteresque, the most boring kerry can win big. No matter how good it gets for bush, the margin of popular vote victory wont ever be too big although a few states in the electoral college tilting toward him may give that appearance. If Bush wins i dont think he can get 50% of the vote. Nader is his best ally unless buchanan runs as naders vp and attracts the nativist right to that ticket from hell. Mike
