Byron, I'd like you to perform a simple thought experiment. Imagine that your proposed proportional system were in place this year, and that you are an advisor to the Kerry (or Bush) campaigns, advising on what locations to visit and on what media markets to buy air time. You may wish to consider recent voting results in your answer. It should be self-evident that your advice would be to concentrate on the largest States. It would be obvious that you should to reach blocks of voters no matter where they are. At the moment this might be difficult but I trust to the inventiveness of political operatives to figure out how to do this. Of course you are right in a sense. Big states actually mean states with big populations so the citizens of these states deserve their legitimate proportion of interest. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
