You guys who believe that the House should not select Obama... have the guts to state your reasons publicly in this thread.
Because the popular vote is irrelevant. If the election was about the popular vote then the campaign would be different and we don't know who would win it. It's an interesting but irrevlevant piece of data. The House should select who they think will be the best President. And I'm assuming a majority of delegations will think Romeny fits that bill, if a majority are Republican.
