I totally have to agree with Matt on this one. This should NOT be a factor in selecting the leader of our country, even though I do see it as great recognition for FIRST. That said, I think that there are some loopholes in the Electoral College system (especially if Gore loses! sheesh...), but generally the system has worked...and for the most part people are just very very misinformed about the system, something that irks me to no end. (yeah, I'm in American Government and I worked on this election doing exit polls) And you know, I think I'm going to be quiet now b/c I've gotten into far too many political arguments today on only 2 hours of sleep =) So....go Gore (better than the others!) and I'm going to get some sleep before Florida comes through....
