    There are an estimated 52 million households that own multiple firearms here in the U.S. and most of us vote.

    Quigs and I were talking the other day when he brought up the fact that 58% of the population of the US voted in the Nov 4 election, and out of that 58% that voted, 58% of those voters voted for McCain and Palin.

    I think we need to go back to the popular vote election like it used to be and do away with the electoral college.

    When was it ever (in this country) popular vote?

    [ditto] I agree. The "Electoral College" was bought by the Liberals this time around - they sold themselves CHEAP.

    Obama won the popular vote 53% to 46% for McCain. Obama had 66,882,230 votes compared to McCain's 58,343,671 votes. In the popular vote Obama still wins hands down. What we really need to do is find a viable candidate.

    The electoral college is embedded in the Constitution. Bad idea to get rid of it. Really bad. We should maintain the republic rather than go toward a "one man, one vote" democracy setup that would permit one vote majorities to deprive the losing side (that may well consist of kids that can't vote) of rights.
