I think the Electoral College should allow split votes from each state

Correct. I thought that it was Maine, but when I asked a patient of mine
from Maine if they split their votes, she said no. What does she no though?
She came down her to vote. She voted Bush, and her husband voted Kerry. I
can't figure out why they took the trip down here 3 weeks early just to vote
when they effectively cancelled out each other's vote.





AFAIK, New Hampshire is winner take all.



Bush: 301
Kerry: 237

Bush by 4-5 points in the popular vote.


I think we ought to trash the Electoral College entirely, and replace it
with the winner of the popular vote winning the election. The
Republicans are playing too many games trying to disenfranchise voters
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and many other states, tactics which
play up the fallacies of the EC system.

I'll be working with a group of nice fellas who will be visiting the
approaches to certain polling places to ensure that Republican thugs are
not intimidating minority voters. If we come across any GOP voter
intimidators, we'll help them make other plans for the day. Anyone who
wants to get to a polling place should be able to do that without
interference. It's up to polling place workers to decide who is eligible
at that precinct, not a bunch of GOP guys in suits.

Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument
for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the
American people that "...a political candidate who jumps to conclusions
without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your
Commander-in-Chief."
