people of this great nation to NOT vote in the president. The electoral college does. Dennis j. | 3.22.10 @ 2:36PM The electoral collage was very important to the framers, and remains relevant today. The college was not inserted to make up for bad roads, it was inserted to make sure that all of the states had at least some influence in electing a president, basically the same reason each gets 2 senators regardless of population. If we went to a popular vote, the east and west coasts would elect the president. vern | 4.10.10 @ 5:06PM Beth...I think that part of voting is bull..We the people should have a direct say in the vote..NOT go through electorial college...as they do not always vote as the majority wants...Maybe now in the future they WILL...due to the tea party voicing our (public in general) opinion..I see alot of dems resigning lately,(i believe they have no choice) the Power of the People have spoken..Hopefully it wont go down the tubes..everyone must get focused..unity is the key here..what do you think? vern | 4.10.10 @ 5:06PM Beth...I think that part of voting is bull..We the people should have a direct say in the vote..NOT go through electorial college...as they do not always vote as the majority wants...Maybe now in the future they WILL...due to the tea party voicing our (public in general) opinion..I see alot of dems resigning lately,(i believe they have no choice) the Power of the People have spoken..Hopefully it wont
