Perhaps Bush will ramrod a constitutional amendment eliminating the EC for a nationwide majority vote.......and an amendment allowing foreign born citizens to become President as a repayment of a HUGE political debt he owes The Governator.

It's always something, isn't it? Nader's split, Osama's tape, Florida's governor, EC's foundation, rain in Toledo, Soros didn't spend enough, ... How 'bout: "The Dems should just quit dressing up putzes as candidates, and accept responsibility when the people call them on it"? "This election proved that the EC is broken, especially in an age where candidates concentrate enormous sums on negative advertising in a few key states. This increases tremendously the odds of an EC loss accompanied by a decisive popular vote win, as almost happened in this election."
