Yep! One vote for each state (& the House and the Senate independently selecting the President and the Vice President) sure puts a different spin on things.... (I predict a surge in the popularity of High School civics classes! :-) This quote was also pretty funny: The most interesting scenario would be a Clinton-Giuliani-Bloomberg race. That would offer a wide choice. Voters could then choose between - A pro-choice, pro-gay, liberal New York Protestant (Clinton) - A pro-choice, pro-gay, liberal New York Catholic (Giuliani) - A pro-choice, pro-gay, liberal New York Jew (Bloomberg) Diversity galore! Turnout would no doubt be very high in New York, but perhaps somewhat lower in places like Alabama. If large numbers of Southern and Midwestern Republicans just stayed home, the Democrats could sweep the Senate and House races. Although the Republican get-out-the-vote operation is legendary, it could be a tough sell to convince people who abhored all three of the above to go to the polls just to vote for Congress.... Let's here it for the "select your favorite branch of the Judaeo-Christian religious tradition Presidential proxy election"!
