Slick push piece, however, from the liberal media.


I take it you didn't like the article.

Well how's this for reasons to get rid of the electoral college. I know very few elections that are decided by an electoral college. That, in itself, should tell you something.

It also makes possible for a president not popularly elected ie Bush to take office.

I think those are two excellent reasons to get rid of it.........and I don't think they are particularly slick.

RE:"The only reason now to get rid of the Electoral College is that it's rather archaic, but that's a far cry from saying it "votes against equality.""

The trouble is that without the electoral college, one big state that votes heavily in one direction can determine the election. Personally, I'm not ready to let New York or the left coast do that.
