I agree with you, but that has nothing to do with the Electoral College.
What I'm saying is, people from California, Colorado, Missippi, Forida, etc etc etc will vote for Bush simply because they are in the same political party.
Making the Electoral College outdated, no?
It would be different if you said "People from Texas will vote for Bush because he's in Texas, and each state will have a candidate that they will vote for simply because that candidate is from their state. Therefore, we can't let the biggest states have all the power."
That, however, is not the way things are these days.

I think it's safe to say that things have changed. People have a bit more of an idea of what is going on in the entire country and won't just vote for someone because they are from the same state. That idea is ludicrous.

What I meant by my comment was that people really don't care about what is going on the country when it comes to their political party... No matter who they put in the party... they will vote for them. On a state level or personal level they will vote their party.
So why not vote for someone just because they are from the same state... especially if they are in the same party. People hold loyalty for the strangest reasons... don't ask me why.
Sorry... doing 5 things at once... I need to stay off here today... cannot give the posts the attention they need and I guess I am not making sense... sorry...
I will return later after I get caught up a bit...
