The Republicans are going for the Dem jugular in 2008 with Pataki or

Colin for vice president, putting the black American vote into play. The
Dem response is to run Hillary. Hilarious.

Re: ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE NOW!!!
The electoral college is part of a system that allows different cross-sections of consent..
It is much more stable than the superficial democracy of the Europeans..
