the electoral college, explained.

yahoo says this today: "four days later, obama wins florida."


(so why did florida bother to vote?)



look, call me stupid. because i am. after all these years and all these explanations of the electoral college, i still don't get it. don't get it! haven't a clue! (and don't bother explaining it to me again. don't bother! don't get it! haven't a clue!)

the electoral college, i guess, is supposed to even things out. helps the less populated states catch up a little with the more populated states. which is why california has 55 electoral votes and montana has..........4.

(does this make sense to you?)

if i lived in montana, where only two other people live, and i didn't want states like new york and california runnin' roughshod over me, i think i'd give california the 4 electoral votes and i'd take their 55. 

or at least 50/50. how does giving non-populated montana a measly 4 stinkin' electoral votes even the freaking playing field?

and now, clearly, we don't need florida. from here on out, floridians don't get to vote. wiped off the map as far as presidential elections are concerned. bye, bye, florida, it's been nice knowin' ya.


now, give your 29 to montana.
