Merc, I think that the Dems and GOP want to perpetrate the myth that the respective party conventions are the process by which the President is elected in the U.S. I really don't believe the average joe knows what the electoral college is. It is a little scary if you ask me.

The only places the popular vote counts is in states where the state constitution specifically links the popular vote to the Electoral College.
There are currently 24 states that have no legal requirement for their electors to cast their vote with the popular vote of that state.

Joe, I am a huge fan of the Electoral College. I was born in a rural area of one state and moved to more than one state where it was majority rural. When we do away with the EC we might as well move the seat of Government to New England. Succession might not be a bad thing for more than one state if that happens.

Not bein picky, but was that meant to read secession, or is succession a term for something in american politics that I haven't come across yet?

I'd say he meant secession. btw-Recent news has Palin as part of an Alaskan secession organization.

She's already been Queen of Alaska. What more does she want?
