Dream on, verminous Weasel Woman.

Dubya still wins!!!!

The time has come to bring our democracy into the 21st century," Feinstein said - You first

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

She wants to replace it by what? The national majority? Bush wins there also, 61million! or does she want to replace by whoever captures California or NY or whatever State the RATS win?????

[ken5050]

Can you post a list of the Democrat senators from the small states..the ones with only a few EVs..this will be a very popular position for them to take.

[b4its2late]

Won't happen Fineswine.

Too many red states.

[CougarGA7]

It could never get ratified. State's like mine would never be campaign stops without the electoral college, and for that very reason, the states with smaller populations would never stand for it.

[bmwcyle]

The only way to have a Hillary win.

[InterceptPoint]

How about One Congressional District = 1 Electoral Vote. Think our girl Dianne would go for that? Not in your lifetime.

[NEPA]

I say OK if the amendment also includes repealing the 17th amendment.

"The Electoral College is I am an anachronism, and the time has come to bring our democracy me into the 21st century," Feinstein said in a statement.

[TomGuy]

Senator! Sit down and shut up!

The Elector College serves a very important purpose, like it or not. It keeps heavily populated areas from domineering the election.

Had there been no Electoral College in '00 or '04, states like NM, NH, etc., would have had little-to-no significance. Elections would be determined by NYC, LA, DFW, Houston, Jacksonville, Chicago.

The Founding Fathers had much more wisdom and insight, and a whole lot less polical agenda than YOU, Diane. They created the Electoral College to give better representation and significance to the rural areas. It is amazing the insights they had.

It is frightening the idiocy contemporary lawmakers show---you wanting to eliminate the Electoral College; Hatch and others wanting to allow foreigners to run for the Presidency; Hatch wanting to allow foreigners to vote in OUR election.

[TMSuchman]

I don't think so! The system while flawed has worked well for over 200 years!

[onedoug]

Dock her salary for wasting time.

[Parmy]

If you wish to observe one person---one vote in action----take a hard look at what is happening here in Washington State governor's election. It sucks!!!

[cowboyway]

"The Electoral College is an anachronism, and the time has come to bring our democracy into the 21st century,"

And then maybe we should push for a constitutional amendment that would require officials elected US senate or house seats to actually know what kind of government they're working in.

It's not a democracy. It's a Federal Republic.

[The Wizard]

great use of her time....endlessly trying to do something she can't acheive should keep her out of the way of real work.

"A Republic, if you can keep it" -- Benjamin Franklin 9/17/1787

"I want a pure democracy" -- Feinstein circa 2004

Sorry there toots, I'll follow Franklin.

[joebuck]

Yeah, I bet this one gets a lot of traction. I think Di should devote ALL of her time and resources working on this isse.

[frog_jerk_2004]

The headline should read "Feinstein knows better than Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, Paterson, Franklin, and other dead founding fathers"
