[MY3*VOLS]

He has almost 70% of the votes of 18-29 year olds. Not just white

Boom. I voted for Obama.













Jk but doesn't matter if I did living in the red.

What do you like about it?

It prevents large population centers, ie NYC and LA, from dictating the President for the rest of the country.

 

[Slydell]

Our founding fathers thought it was a good idea. Might have been then. Not so much now, IMO.

I don't see it changing anytime in our lifetime due to the votes needed to overturn it.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

Hey it only matters to me cuz it matters so much to y'all.

If TN was a swing state, it might make a difference.

 

[Thrasher865]

Good god. 25,000 vote difference in FL right now. I smell a recount. Going to bed.

 

[DD4ME]

I'd prefer a system that can't crown the one with less votes as winner.

Here's the presidents where that didn't occur. If It happened tonight either way you'd have two relatively recently buy otherwise very few.

John Quincy Adams who lost by 44,804 votes to Andrew Jackson in 1824
Rutherford B. Hayes who lost by 264,292 votes to Samuel J. Tilden in 1876
Benjamin Harrison who lost by 95,713 votes to Grover Cleveland in 1888
George W. Bush who lost by 543,816 votes to Al Gore in the 2000 election.

What I'm trying to get across to Jo-D. Doesn't really matter.

Not really, though. Since the # of electoral votes is proportional to state populations.

Romney will win by 1.5 million votes and lose

Have you lost your mind? That's exactly what's happening.

This doesn't compute. If we went with popular vote, nationwide, why would a large city matter?

 

[DD4ME]

TBH as a white male the Republicans have gotten too focused on gays, Mexicans, and of all things rape abortions.

Seriously does that shizz matter even one iota as much as economy and defecit. Need more moderate republicans IMO.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

We need a seperation of Zone and politics law. Lulz

TN will never be a swing state if I have anything to do with it.

Very likely.

this

Keep that sh!t out there.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Why do these independent ritards run and get 10-12k votes for the presidency. To say they did it? To waste time and money? Makes no sense.

 

[joeydupree]

Not true.

Lulz....more booze stat

Agreed. I did think Ross Perot had a pretty good platform though.
