Actually, BB there are many people who feel that Bush is not the legitimately elected president, but few argue that this is because of the college system.

Some think Bush was not legitimately elected, but IF the recount had continued, and it had been found that he had legitimately won Florida and thus had a real electoral majority, they would feel that he WAS   legitimately elected.

I have always been willing to abide by the college system. So If Kerry wins the electoral college but not the popular vote, I will argue that he is legitimately elected. Just as, if Bush won the electoral college (which we still don't know for sure) then he is legitimate.

BUT if the Kerry electoral majority occurs because of one or more "faithless electors," you can be sure we will have another major discussion of the merits of the electoral college system, after which most likely nothing will be done about it.
