I actually learned something by reading this: Elections are won and lost by the numbers, and it looks like Obama has them.
What are we Conservatives and Patriots going to do to stop another Democrat win?
Our candidate better be REAL and not PUFF.
So Politics got smarter...They created the biggest blocks in the biggest states. The Dems additionally created huge blocks...like AARP and NOW....and they nurtured the union vote.
Finally, in the Repub Camp, the Tea Parties, and a lot of them, came to be...essentially doing the same thing.
The elections are beginnng to show the results of these groups. Congrats to the Tea Parties.
Coupled with the Fraud of the Left, it is a real uphill struggle to take back this once-great Country.
Those "conservatives" who think PA might go for the Republican might oppose this, not on Constitutional grounds, but in hopes of getting all of PA's votes.
Likewise "conservatives" who think PA is still going Democrat regardless might decide that "state's rights" trump the electoral system so that we can get at least some of PA's votes.
Such "pragmatic" thinking in the short run could come back to haunt us in the long run.
This is how I always thought it should be. I honestly feel like my vote doesn’t count at all in Presidential races. The dead people in Newark and Jersey City are the ones who decide on NJ Electoral votes.
The PA plan is a brilliant plan
It will contain vote fraud to a district by district basis, rendering urban vote fraud a pointless exercise. That will make elections more honest. This is more important than the tactical advantage of breaking up a blue state voting strength (we may win PA outright in 2012, but as Ziegler points out, the only way we win PA is if we actually dont need it and win OH, VA and other states.)
Zeigler also points out how breaking up the PA EVs will put Obama in a serious box in getting to 272 electoral votes.
Go for it!
Pennsylvania is considering the Nebraska/Maine method of allocating electoral votes by Congressional district.
