Should the Electoral College system still be used to select the president?

Yes, the system works. 28% 40301 votes

No, it's time for a change. 70% 101606 votes

Don't know 2% 3328 votes

Total: 145235 votes

Analysis: Dems seem to have the advantage in signing up new voters

Ha ha, it would appear Bush has recieved another endorsment. Read on:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...an_us_elections

The head of Iran's security council said Tuesday that the re-election of President Bush (news - web sites) was in Tehran's best interests

Historically, Democrats have harmed Iran more than Republicans, said Hasan Rowhani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body.

That's pretty funny if you ask me...

I've heard a lot of pundits talking recently about how the undecideds always break in favour of the challengers. Apparently it will be extremely difficult now for Bush to gain a win in those states where he's now trailing or tied. In something like 190 American elections at various levels, the challenger gets the undecided vote in 160 of those. If this is in any way true this time, Kerry has this election handily. The guy at electoral-vote.com has a map showing how things would turn out if current undecideds vote 2:1 in favour of Kerry:

Yeah, obviously it's a big what-if; Personally I can't imagine the election being so one-sided. What does everyone else think? Is there merit to this 'undecideds vote for the challenger' mentality, or is it a bunch of liberal media hooey?
