[Winona Online Democracy]
Just to get another interesting discussion going: I just heard on the radio
that Senator Arlen Specter (R, PA) will be proposing a constitutional
amendment to eliminate the electoral college and have voters directly elect
the president. There is, of course, precedence for this: The seventeenth
amendment, passed in 1913, changed the election of senators from state
legislatures to popular vote. So, what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea?
Why?

A timely witty saying for this week, from Dan Quayle:
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."
