Absolutely, it was a sour-grapes reaction then and now. But there's a difference between revamping an entire election process to phase out an antiquated and arguably obsolete method, and picking and choosing the areas in which to revamp the process to hand pick a winner.

The better option would be to quit sucking so bad that you insult your own base with every other podium visit. I guess my lack of personal responsibility just prevented me from voting for Romney. But I sure do enjoy my Obamaphone and sense of victimhood...

Well honestly, isn't it about time? Isn't it actually built into the system that the ECs can completely ignore the election results?

Heh, that's pretty funny......I like how it stretches to High Point (which is a dump IMO).

Glad I skipped it on my trips to Charlotte then.

So that's a "NO" to the question of "did you eat at Popeye's chicken while you were down?"
