The Electoral College is a complete anachronism, as is the notion that the United States is still somehow 50 different countries.
The US is not 50 different countries, but it is 50 different states, which in a lot of ways are as different as many countries. Germany and France probably share about as much in common as California and Texas... language aside (and even that's in question ), we truly do have a lot of different cultures inside the US, and the reason why we've managed to get this far mostly unscathed is our system that allows a voice to the smaller states, and recognizes the uniqueness that comes from our system.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Ugh, (D) Deb Conroy got elected in my area too. Democrats have proven again and again that they can't be trusted to be the majority in Illinois. And I used to consider myself a Democrat.
Maybe Kirk Dillard makes another run for Governor in 2 years. :hopeful:
