I think we should keep the college. Unfortunately, while the general public has access to all these great new news tools, there are still millions of morons out in the nation. These people, the ones that don't bother to pay attention to the issues, don't think forwards, and don't bother to even read the voters pamplet are a major threat to the popular vote. And on the same issue, if the popular vote was the de facto standard, it would indeed become a popular vote. We'd see canidates not talking about the issues, but instead trying to be popular. There is no real penelty for making pre-election lies, and as such, the above morons could, would, and shall be swayed by lies. So, for peat's sake, keep the college. I rather let someone who cares vote than to let the moron next door cancel out mine.:|
