Lori - in all seriousness - why do we have general elections if the electoral college decides the president? I ask because Gore and H. Clinton both won the popular vote; and that is to say the people voted for whom they wanted. But it doesnt matter; if the EC is different than the general count the EC (trumps the General votes) -- I know this is how it works; but why is it considered democratic? It seems to me those that play the political game are always in control and the people are fools thinking they are making a difference on national elections for president but not really
