Not unless you get an electorate with some common sense, and get them to vote, too.

It would take a Constitutional ammendment to get rid of the Electoral College. A good example of how the Liberals feel about it: the 2000 election. When it looked like Gore was going to WIN Florida, they all got on TV or the radio and CROWED how well "the system" worked. Almost five weeks later, when Florida went to Bush, the SAME Liberal politicians(some of whom PROMISED to leave the country if Bush won--NONE DID) condemned the system for being "ancient and out of touch with the will of the people". Talk about hypocrisy !!!

No. The electoral college was established by the U.S. Constitution and has worked quite well for over 200 years. Past generations have endured Presidents, members of Congress and Supreme Court justices that were morons, idiots, drunkards and fools. It only becomes dangerous when those same people get their hands on powers that the Constitution never intended for them to have.

Only if you dumped the monopolistic, corrupt two-party system which has a stranglehold on our political process. The "Republicrats" want to maintain that monopoly; you have to bust up that cozy little conspiracy and give independent candidates more access to the people. There's only one way to do that now: a second American Revolution.
Money begets power. Power corrupts. To eliminate the power, you must take away the money. And the "Republicrats" aren't going to give up their money without a war. -RKO- 09/09/07

Not a chance. The way the media treats candidates, especially the hate sprewed toward Republicans makes me wonder why anyone would want to run in the first place.
