"There is no question that our system of electing a President is outmoded, but this initiative is not the way to do it."

Translation: "This initiative costs the Democrats electoral votes so we must reject it."

"I believe that the Electoral College must be abolished, and that the President be elected through direct popular election."

Translation: "The Electoral College blunts the Democrats' efforts to commit massive vote fraud in inner city neighborhoods so we must abolish it."
