Bye the way, naps, LS is a Professor of History, certainly making him part of the lowering education you so brilliantly exposed.

LS may be a Professor of History but that has nothing to do with Civics or Government. He was talking about Obama losing the popular vote as if that matters. The ONLY thing that matters is Obama losing the electoral college. Again, some folks just need to understand the General Election that is all.

Well, naps, I sorta have a funny feeling that LS understands the electoral process, perhaps even better than you.

My point, which you adroitly avoided, was you calling him ignorant, and by extension, those who would agree with him.

[LS]

I find it hard to believe you are seriously questioning whether I understand the electoral process. If you want a proximation of the pop vote and the electoral college, try this: in OH in 2004, a difference of 15 (!!) votes per precinct gave Bush a 115,000 vote margin in OH, and had it been under 100,000, the Dems were ready with an army of lawyers because it would have been within the "recount" limit.

So, if you are seeing Obama at 43%, its implications for the popular vote are huge BECAUSE of the landslide they portend in the electoral college.
