Wup. It's time for the first "is it time to scrap the electoral college" article.

First of many, I should say.

Gosh, I remember, back in the day when I went to MIT, how it was a serious school.

Indeed, a lone island of conservatism (with occasional absurd faculty member the exception) in a sea of liberal idiocy.

How things have changed

Indeed - and time for “groan, here we go again, NO don’t scrap it, anyone who wants to either doesn’t understand it or has ulterior motives” followed by the usual long explanation of how it works and why it’s good, which should have been explained in grade school.

A McPalin victory will cause a veritable blizzard of similar articles, all noticeably absent any understanding of how a representative democracy, i.e. republic, works and how the EC is a significant cog in that machinery. The writers of such articles merely expose their woeful lack of education.
