News Flash

Just a bit of random information: My roommate's girlfriend just told me that she thinks "the electoral college is a piece of sh*t and they need to get rid of it."

Fascinating.

Is your roomate's gf also a bleading heart liberal? That would be the next likely assumption

Actually, no. She just has to take a government class and doesn't like learning about the E.C. At least I think that's what she said.

Has she ever uttered the words "But Al Gore won the popular vote"?

I honestly don't think she knows enough to have an opinion on that. Last time she was here, she didn't even know the difference between Democrats and Republicans (I told her that "Democrats are stupid, Republicans are smart." Heh heh).

The electoral college is the only thing that keeps candidates from dealing with (i.e., sucking up to) just the areas of the country with the highest population -- primarily New York and California. Without the electoral college, votes cast in the rest of the country simply don't count. This, of course, is EXACTLY what Liberals want, because it's how they think of America anyway (when they can think of at it without shuddering in disgust, that is).
