The electoral college is a system that was thought up many many years ago, because many americans didn't have access to information and because the south had many slaves that could not vote. That should be a clue as to how old and outdated it is. That being said, I still believe we are the most resilient people on earth, and regardless of the outcome of this election, we will prosper. Those that have good moral character and are willing to work hard will perservere.

I voted my concience, all I can do now is live up to my conviction. Last time I checked I still live in the United States of America.

Those people that are living off of welfare checks will never have what you have bud. They'll never have pride in a job well done. They'll never know what it feels like to earn something honestly. I'm pretty sure you know what that feels like, so you're much further ahead in life than most of those people will ever be. Dont sweat it brother, there's someone upstairs watching over you and everyone esle that has faith in Him and themselves.

Just an observation…by your standards Canada would be considered a raging socialist country. Check out our standard of living compared to the US both by GNP and happiness quotient, and I'm not talking about just the last few years... just saying.

Hows your financial system, debt load? What could be arguably your greatest president would be called a socialist by todays US standards, do you know who I'm referring too?

I'm not pretending to know about you guys and the world you live in, but from the outside looking in I'd say you're being screwed by corporate America not some low life scamming for food stamps. Canada is happy Obama is in. Good luck.

Public education? confused

One more time. Number one the founding fathers never wanted every person in this country voting. They set up standards and exclusions. It still remains a privilege and not a right.

The President was never intended to be chosen by the people allowed to vote. The President was to be chosen by the States. To be specific Electors appointed by the State legislatures. In order to weigh the population of each State in the equation the number of Electors of each State reflects the States population. The people allowed to vote were only to choose the peoples representative to the House of Representatives. There were reasons for setting up the system this way.

Is this politics or civics?

Civics.

Dirt are you saying that people are smart enough now to educationally vote?

People are apparently ignorant. Including me on many things. Direct democracy has it's pitfalls. The biggest is persecution of the minority opinion. Fine examples of democracy are wildlife initiatives passed by Urban voting majorities.
