[quote:Anonymous Coward 27017969:MV8yMDM4NTA1XzM0MjY5MDg0XzZGRTQyNURE] Would you like some cheese with your whine? Obama won in a LANDSLIDE in 2008 and he's going to win the popular and electoral vote again this year. The draft-dodging mormon plutocrat is toast and rightfully so. :osuper: We're sick of you Repulsicans. [/quote]

The reason that our founding fathers put in an electoral college was to prevent people like Obama from being elected. They knew that the media would hype someone that was not truly worthy of serving so the idea of having an electoral college make the final decision was put in. If the electoral college had worked, they would have overridden the popular vote and elected McCain.
Obama had no managerial experience coming into the election in '08. None. That means that even a drive-thru manager would have been more qualified than Obama. The toughest job in the world has been said to be President of the US. How does someone with no managerial experience manage a country? How does someone with a drug background get elected? How does someone connected to terrorists get the nod? These and many more questions should have been addressed by the media. Instead, they hyped Obama as the Second Coming. Obama's shady background should have caused the electoral college to override the popular vote and elect McCain. Since they didn't, there is no point to keeping it in place.
