wake up, YOU are not as smart as you think you are.

Well...my main beef with the E.C. is that it goes against the foundation of democracy as we conceive it. Democracy boils down to "the best man wins". Yet somehow we've conjured up a system where having more people want you in office doesn't mean you'll get there. This is evidenced by the 2000 election. Gore wins popular vote, Bush gets into office. I honestly think we should do away with the E.C. altogether...whoever gets the most votes wins, period. Otherwise your vote doesn't mean as much as it could.

Also...I'm taking odds on who thinks Ohio will be a contested state. Warning: Recounts ahead.
