Beth, I agree with you. I find it interesting the resounding silence of the "Stolen Election" camp when asked to discuss the facts. This camp seems much more comfortable name calling then truly discussing the issues.

Its not a matter of saying that Bush didnt' win the electoral vote, he clearly did - its a matter of whether the electoral college is relevant and fair. At the time of the creation of the electoral college it was created because the "common man" supposedly didn't have the smarts to vote for himself so he voted for someone smarter than him to do it. I personally find that notion offensive & outdated and would prefer to see the president elected solely on the basis of the public vote. Does anyone know if there were any other times a president was elected without winning the popular vote? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_community Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
