And each year the Republicans become more pusillanimous, more vacillating, more gullible, less inventive.
We need Republican Party Leadership which is single-mindedly targetd towards the total destruction of the Democratic party in America and their supporters and pupeteers in the major media and entertainment industries.
Only in that way will America and the Constitution we all have cherished so dearly be resurrected from the grave to which Democratic judges, attorneys and activist courts consigned it.
In Massachusetts the 'rats are days away from taking away the Governor's right to appoint a Senator when the seats becomes vacant. Anticipating a Kerry win.
That's a fact.
Dont forget how they stole the Senate election in New Jersey by changing the candidate at the last minute.
Why would anybody want a "proportionate" vote in the Electoral College? The idea is to keep "machine" politics in any one state from adversely affecting the national sense of whom should serve as President. That is, a wildly lopsided vote in any one state does not affect the outcome of that one state any more than a very narrow victory, so there may remain the anomaly of winning the popular vote, but losing the Electoral College. Awarding the votes on the "winner take all" basis makes the battleground states truly a battleground, and forces a much more keen debate. One would wish that the debate might be on the issues, and not on personalities or simple spite. But sometimes character IS the issue.
Remember, this is a columnist from the state that threw out their own election laws in order to get some fossil in depends with a "D" next to his name on the ballow after another Democrat had already won the nomination as his party's candidate. Smart? No. Unless you believe winning is more important than principles.
On the other hand, a district-by-district apportionment of electoral votes in California would give GWB more than enough to offset losses elsewhere. Except for San Francisco and Los Angeles, California is conservative.
There is no time to put something on the ballot for November and there is no legality to changing the voting rules and the way the ballots are counted or apportioned for this election. Fact is the rules are in place and you are more than a little hysterical...This one doesn't even come close to passing the giggle test. This is the type of stuff that the left points to and mocks and says see how crazy they are. Perhaps Bush and the GOP can just go ahead and arrest all dems in Nov instead hold them till after the election...some folks think that will happen too and have been saying so since Nixon....relax take a deep breath and get out the vote
Wait a minute. If the 55% of Coloradoans who vote for Bush vote against the proposition, what's the problem?

Mr. Ridder obviously doesn't understand, or doesn't want to understand the old concept of two wolves, and a sheep deciding what is for dinner, based on democratic voting.
In more halcyon days one of the Dem Party stalwarts (HHH IIRC) was asked "What do you guys do when you think no one is looking?" He responded
"Well, some of the guys play poker, have a drink, and chase skirts." Times have changed - now they're into thieving (Non-merit gifts, like a star to the likes of Karpinski) and killing (babies) and treason (selling technology to the thug heathen Chinese).
