Hehe yeah.
Basically if you guys just voted for your congress and senators and let them figure out the rest, that would be pretty close.

"But wait... when do you vote for your president?" I think a lot of people in America would be shocked to learn how many of the countries we think are like us are different in things like... not voting directly for the president/prime minister/number one dude or dudette. For that matter, what would life be like if the Electoral College worked the way it was supposed to, rather than the bastardized formality it has become?

I think it stopped being a formality when GWB lost the popular vote and still became president.

There is a movement to organize a coalition of states that will sign an agreement to throw their electoral college votes at whoever wins the popular election - Because sometimes that doesn't happen, and it would be nice to have that down on paper. I am for this. I am also for a national primary date as opposed to this cockeyed system of BS.
