The electoral college is supposed to follow what the public wants, but when special interest groups fund the electoral college's members how can we expect to get a fair election of what the GENERAL public wants. Hence why we get all of these extremist individuals in office. People of true fortitude don't want to take the riducule of the public because they won't take responsibilty for there actions. Our society wants to point the finger and pass the buck, rather than accept our fate and fix it ourselves.
How many people in the general population accept respopnsibility for there actions anymore? How many people can make there own decisions and live with them? Until we correct our morrals and values, these POS are the ones who will be in control. Unfortunately the majority have become silent, and the minorities have taken over the general voice in this nation.
I sure hope that video of OBAMA'S wife and reverand WRIGHT really exists, and surfaces come OCTOBER.

I understand what your saying but when was the last time if ever that the electoral college voted opposite of what their state voted for. I'm aware that Gore won the popolar vote but the electorals still voted according to their states votes and thats how Bush won. Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't remember anytime they over road how the people of their state voted. The biggest problem with doing away with alectorals is that a great number of states would get ignored and not have any say in electing our president.
