Well, would you rather have a politcally educated person or the kids who mimic jackass to vote.

If the electoral college didn\'t exist, every single politician would cater to Cliafornia and New York. No one would give a rats ass about Montana because they would have about as many votes as a single burrow of NY.

^^^I don\'t see how it would be much different. The number of electoral votes is indirectly based on population.

So you guys would rather have someone else make the selection for you? I guess I\'m an oddball.

BTW, Since when didn\'t the politicians cater to California, New York, Florida, etc.?

They still cater to the larger states, but there are probably 10-15 states that wouldn\'t have a single say in the matter based on population.

They don\'t have a say in the matter NOW. I\'m not seeing the difference.
