simply amazing.
i read and re-read the article, couldn't find much at all aboot the electoral college setup!
the president is not voted by popular vote, i mean texas will be overwhelmingly in fovour of dubya i would think, and massachussets won't vote for the elephant, but where is the talk of the show-me-state, or illinois, or fifteen plus other states that could swing before the election?
as for the mudslinging, it will only get worse. the republicans are historically better at it but the democrats may show that rumsfeld-hussein handshake clip!
i am by the way pretty much sure that i would vote for neither of these guys as people.
bush left the slimiest trail since tricky dicky on his way up, and kerry has done what i consider slightly unpatriotic things in the past (though this is after doing some patriotic things that bush didn't do, like go to war in the first place!).
as for the actual election issues, i am not a big fan of the iraq invasion, due in large part to the issues summed up very nicely here:

i may be a simple caveman but i do know this:
starting something like the iraq occupation and then changing direction in the middle of it (ie. right now) may be more disastrous to america than any other course of action. a democratic president might do some murky stuff there, and now is not the time for indecisive policy.
as for michael moore he is a perfect counter to rush limbaugh - both are technically wrong but loudmouthed.
i think bush is very wrong but america is right in the pit with him, better finish whatever you started...
