Hmm, very interesting.

I'll be sure to read up on it.

Thanks.

No – basically, individuals vote for people to vote for them. Google electoral college for a fuller explanation. The National Post ran an article a couple of days ago on how it works. It's not like ours. It leaves room for bought botes in the electoral college. The system dates back to the pony express days when it would take to long to bring in all the ballots from across the country. It makes me think of voting through somebody else and not directly. As I say – google “electoral college” and you'll find explanations.

I've been thinking ... whatever happens, it's going to be a win-win for Obama and McCain:

Whoever wins the election, becomes the POTUS--the goal of the past two years of electioneering.

Whoever loses the election, gets his life back (which'll probably make his wife happy).

Smiles all around ... right?

Bad bad omen … a prez Obama will rape Canada and kill Ontario auto manufacturing. Ontario will not only be a “have-not” province, it will become a rust belt slum after the Obama Democrats unleash their protectionism agenda and suck back all the auto jobs to Deetroit … and you had better believe it.

If Obama’s at a 5:2 ratio already, that’s not a good omen for McCain. But it’s plenty early yet.
