We seem to be fresh out of that brand here in the US.

Too bad nobody like that is in government at the moment

Now that you bring it up... The electoral college is a bit of an anachronism. Don't you think we would be better off without it?

Nephythys · 01-23-2007, 05:47 PM

uh huh- whatever guys.

As long as dems keep whinging on about 2000- and 2004 as if they were stolen (which they weren't) and refuse to look forward to the future- well, they continue to be laughable.

I am looking forward to 2008 because it is going to be something NEW- no incumbents. I am sad to see either party trot out old options.

Nothing exciting yet- but it's early.

I'd love to see the electoral college ditched and have the actual winner of the majority of votes hold office.

Nephythys · 01-23-2007, 07:20 PM

No- it's there for a good reason.

Of course- do the people who want to get rid of it really want to gut the middle of the country from representation? The elections would be held on the west and east coast and to hell with everyone else.

Sorry- with all due respect but I think people who want to abolish it don't really understand it or why we have it.

Succinct.

I'd like to see Hillary just to have the Husband Wife combination as a future trivia question interspersed with a father son combination. Thank god we don't have any monarchies in this country.

Obama's name is just to funny - most people won't believe he's American.

Edwards is a lovable lumberjack, so people will think he's Canadian.

Gulliani made the subways run on time or something like that, Time Square and Disney - that bodes good for national leaders.

Mc Cains' house is decorated with too much Americana - he's trying to hard, I'd rather a president with simpler lines.

I'm voting for Hillary, if for no other reason, to see Bill Clinton become the first lady.
