Pantyfanatic,

While it is true that my post could not be characterized as a “one liner”, or “sound bite”, there are, I’m sure you’ll agree, issues which are not satisfactorily served by such brevity. A filibuster is a tool used to obstruct or delay a debate. Judging from the responses my post has elicited, I’d say that it has had the opposite result.

I do agree with you in regards the anachronism of the Electoral College, although we tend to express our opinions differently. As this process is written into the federal constitution, it is as close to having been carved in stone as a process here can be. Only by an amendment to the Constitution or a Constitutional Convention can the Electoral College be replaced, both of which are most unlikely, so I’ll bet you’re right about that also. It is a piece of rococo eighteenth century democracy which will outlast both of us.
