The Electoral College is a quaint and outdated mechanism which was designed to protect the country from sliding into democracy.

Romney Opens Stunning Seven-Point Lead In Gallup Poll It’s probably too good to be true; the venerable Gallup Poll is turning into an outlier. But it sure is fun to see: Romney 52%, Obama 45%, among likely voters. Gallup uses a 7-day rolling average, which means that all of these numbers post-date Joe Biden’s performance, and one-seventh of the responses are after Tuesday night’s second presidential debate. While, as I say, the seven-point margin is an outlier, there is no doubt that the tide is flowing in Romney’s direction, and no sign so far that the Obama campaign’s desperate efforts have done anything to stem it. powerlineblog.com
