Is it time to discuss the Electoral College here yet?
We all get caught up in the back and forth here on who's voting for whom, as if it really matters. It matters in some states, but not so much in others. Sure, an Electoral College victory can be blunted by a popular vote defeat. But the EC is really all that matters here. I thought the EC system would get revisited after the 2000 election, but of course, no one remembered it for very long.
Seems to me a lot of the most vocal folks here come from states that are already a lock for one or the other candidate. So our shouting doesn't mean too much. I live in AZ, so, of course, my POTUS vote will only matter in the popular count. Swing states are a whole different matter.
I think Lendaddy's vote will cancel out Kachi22's in MI. I don't think Tobra and Sammy are gonna swing CA to the McCain column. Which others are truly up for grabs? MI, OH, PA, VA (this time), NM?
