Whatta dolt. They just don’t want anyone out of the teeming “blue states” to have a voice in the process.

“I think it is high time we got rid of the Electoral College and elected our presidents the way we elect every other elected official in the country - by a vote of the people,”

Both dead & otherwise

Power play. Party-over-nation at it's finest.

If the Democrats were to ever achieve this wet dream of theirs, they would richly deserve the results (aka, anarchy, rebellion and lawlessness).

Hey Guv, we’re not changing the Constitution around just because YOU think it’s the thing to do.

So basically let’s just let Los Angeles, NY and Chicago elect our President from now on.

So far, Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois and Hawaii have supported electing the president through a national popular vote.

Can you even imagine what a nightmare a nationwide recount would be????

I guess he left out the fact that not all popular winners of each state guarantees a vote from the Electoral College.

The Electoral College is one of the last firebreaks left in the Constitution.

“I think it is high time we got rid of the Electoral College and elected our presidents the way we elect every other elected official in the country - by a vote of the people ...so that the highly populous and Liberal states can sway who gets elected, walking overtop of what the majority of the other states want. After all, those old white guys who fought the Revolution had no idea what was really good for us today!"

Let me see, Dukakis, Dukakis...you were famous for something fifty years ago, but I can't place it. Wern't you one of Madonna's former husbands?

The sad thing about this whole affair is that if someone wanted to put their state into play they could just adopt the Nebraska system internally...

But as a political show its pure gold..

“I think it is high time we got rid of the Electoral College and elected our presidents the way we elect every other elected official in the country - by a vote of the people,” Dukakis wrote in a letter e-mailed to state lawmakers yesterday. “The overwhelming majority of the American people do, too.”

Translation: We Democrats can’t win without cheating and the Electoral College makes it too hard to cheat.

What Wisdom the Founding Fathers had to formulate the Electoral College to make the money kings, such as Buffett, Soros, and Pickens, have to scheme, plan, and obfuscate for their own interests, in place of their MSM telling us who "won."
