I voted for Gore,and I think the Electoral College is a ridiculous manifestation of the paranoid side of the founding fathers...these educated,wealthy and erudite individuals were afraid that Yankee Doodle would elect a Snake Oil Salesman President,and they wanted a way to short circuit the process if the unwashed masses tried to hi-jack the revolution.Well guess what Ben,George and Thom...the Revolution was hijacked a long time ago,the snake oil salesmen are running the whole shooting match including the Electoral College,and its time to dump that constitutional anomalie.

HAVING SAID THAT...if the recount in Florida reaffirms Bush's win,I hope Gore concedes without dragging the election through the courts,which would do much damage to our electoral process.He can work behind the scenes to help implement the Democratic Agenda in the face of a very shaky GWB Presidency. Let's move on.
