Look at what happens when you tinker with the electoral system: right now the Democrat party is creating a mess by changing rules and trying to change them back when they don't get their desired results. (Michigan and Florida Democrat primaries)

Sorry Buster, but I have to agree with hooskins. What exactly does a debate about the electoral college have to do with the Michigan and Florida Democratic primaries? It does seem like you're reaching so you can bash the Dems.
As for Hoos not liking Bush, I think he's joined by roughly 70% of the American public.
