Should we abolish the electoral college?

Bush would never have been elected.  Enough said.

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.

So you're in favor of throwing out democracy, pretty much?

^ Posts like these are exactly why I oppose abolishing the EC.

So you both support your arguments for purely political reasons? How pure of the two of you.

I only meant what I said about Bush as a joke.  I oppose it because it is an undemocratic institution and distorts the vote.
