    Why am I wrong to like the Electoral College?

    I like the Electoral College. I forces candidates to pay attention to the needs of more folks, not just people in the big urban areas. Thereby reducing the sense of rural marginalization. I also think it unites the country, since we all count. Why am I wrong?

    Making Elections Profitable

    Iraqi elections

    It's looking very much like the Shiites are going to control the country (big surprise). The US-backed secular candidates are getting thrashed. I'm sure Iran is pleased with the results. Seems like a lot of lives and money just to create another Islamic theocracy. (Sorry about misposting to...
