Remember in the weeks before the 2000 election when the Dems thought they would lose the popular vote and win in the Electoral College, Gore, Hillary, the NYT and El Globo amongst others, were all singing the praises of the wisdom of the Founders. It was only when they lost that they discovered how "anachronistic" the EC was.
Clowns without scruples, they turned on a dime to their new position.
