There is no way that the electoral college can function in the manner that you suggest and even if it could it has surely failed to prevent the election of a hamster.
Hey now. Hamsters are reasonably intelligent. Just because they, like Bush, tend to regard newspaper as toilet material is no reason to draw unfair parallels.
I'd agree with EC concerns. There are better systems in place now in other countries that we'd do well to consider. I'm fond of runoff elections. Had they been in place in 2000, Gore would have taken the house. (Since most dual votes for Nader would have reverted to single ones for Gore.)
