47. Gore could even win my primary vote..
if he supported abolishing the Electoral College. Even Republicans would support abolishing the ec, if they knew four Presidents who lost the popular vote also won majorities in the electoral college. Democrats need to make this a central issue in 2008, this is an issue voters everywhere would support us on!

The problem is most Americans still think Bush won the popular vote both times! They think the President is elected, not selected by a state delegates who never proportionally represent how the public voted in each state. If most Americans knew how our President is selected..they wouldn't stop screaming until this was changed!

Supporting universal healthcare, abolishing the Electoral College, and fighting to take money out of politics are all winning issues for Democrats. So why are Republicans still in power? :grr:
