I often find it sad and I suppose a bit funny -- we send our sons and daughters to die in order to "bring democracy" to other countries when we don't really have it here -- at least in picking the president.

A system designed when the country - certainly in terms of rural vs. urban - was VERY different than it is today just might...just might need some updating! Candidates can still ignore a state they don't believe they can win or for any reason they please. And they do.

I agree the Electoral College is an outdate antiquity! But I still vote. And one day I hope my vote will elect someone who believes in democracy at home too!
