“NO! We are a Republic. We do not vote for the Presidential Candidate. We are actually voting for the elector. Regardless of the legitimacy or illegitimacy of Obama the electors were voted for legitimately. I do not know who will be the next president. I do know he will be a Democrat.”

THEY VOTED FOR A DEM SLATE OF ELECTORS BASED ON WHO THE CANDIDATE WAS - OBAMA ...

What about the people who say:

“I WOULD NOT have voted DEM, if ANYONE ELSE OTHER than Obam had been at the top of the ticket ???”

You are GIVING their vote to another DEM, when they probably would have voted for someone else.

The vice president does NOT appear on all state ballots. Therefore, not as many delegates are committed to Biden as were originally committed to BO.

I did not say it was fair. I did not say I liked it. However, that is the way it is. It sucks big time!
