I'm in favor of abolishing the electoral college, and replacing it with a papal college.  A few hundred men selected by the previous few presidents get to decide behind closed doors who among them becomes the next president.  Much better.

That's sort of the system we have right now except the papal electors are just rich presidential primary donors and bundlers.
