    well as we can see the republicans may not have wisdom but atleast it seams the electoral college showed some wisdom and prevented the us population from electing the wrong president

    Yep, its different now and the constitution was not designed to stay intact for over 200 years.
    It was written as a guide and should have been changed as the country grew.
    The fact we have added amendments has not changed the core, and thats what needs work.

    Using the popular vote would keep voters interested and bring out more to vote.
    The risk in that of course is having a recount nationwide.

    But it is what it is *shrug*
    Now we get 4 more years of the same...
    So who really wins?

    Something that my dad told me a long time ago may make a little sense and years to come, I would like you guys to stop and remember I said it. "A man who is not a liberal in his 20's has no heart: a man that isn't a conservative in his 40's has no brain."

    236 years was when we went independent, we left long before that. We have agreed to disagree many times before so I guess we can again...

    Aren't you forgetting McCain of all things? If we elected him we wouldn't be having this conversation
