NPR had a good piece on two proposals.<BR/><BR/>I am so sick of being told, implicitly or explicitly, both that my vote doesn't matter and that's a great thing. For goodness' sakes, all the pundits (and even a few bloggers) really need to at least acknowledge that things aren't sewn up 'til Super Tuesday.Batocchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193752396025012825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-22188133748281969902008-01-09T16:16:00.000-06:002008-01-09T16:16:00.000-06:00And while we're at it- screw you electoral college...And while we're at it- screw you electoral college! if you want to make sure candidates pay attention to the little states, then make it a requirement for all the candidates to visit all the states.
