The electoral College is the last remnant of our republican form of government, which is the only guarantee of our constitution. Article IV Section 4.
If the college is abolished, something has to be done with the guarantee, or else the States will sue the feds for violation of that guarantee.
The electoral college will stay, and the democrats will portray themselves as victims.
Let's remember, we have never exported our Electoral College System...Not in Japan when we democritized them, Not in Iraq when we democritized them, Not in Afganistan when we democritized them. Aside from being a concession when our constitution was made, it only works because both sides know the rules. Change the rules and Republicans are still smarter...Republicans will still win.
Maybe we can use this against her in 2008.
