Yes Pete, it is interesting that the same people who spoke about the genius of the Electoral College system when Bush won in 2000 while losing the popular vote will now go into hysterics if an Elector does not vote the same way as his state.
I have lots of Democratic friends that were in hysterics and I maintained that the framers wanted a republic and that the Electoral College selects the President.
If this elector in WV goes against the wishes of his State or Bush wins the Popular vote but loses the Electoral Vote I will have to remain consistent in my opinion.
