If one wanted to do away with the electoral college and implement a popular vote for President, all one has to do is look at this map and see just who voted for in this election for president.  Look at all the red territory and then look at the big cities.  It is apparent to anyone that Obama was elected overwhelmingly by the larger cities.  Had the popular vote been closer, it is easily to see that an electoral college vote to McCain more fairly represents the Nation than just the larger cities.  http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Woodsman1956/2008-election-map-wash-post-margin-.gif

Even a quick look at this should give an electoral college skeptic reason for pause.  Yes, the maps show once again that we are still a mostly "red" nation of bitter clingers.  The electoral system reflects well on the divinely guided wisdom of our founding fathers who were fearful of tyranny of the masses.  The 3-D map shows that 12-15 of our most populous cities could choose our President all by themselves if we solely relied on the popular vote.  This system may be OK if we are just talking about "American Idol" but not for selecting the leader of the free world.  Just screw the flyover country and let LA, Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit and a hand full of others decide for all of us?  I don't think so.

Me either, that is why I posted the link to better see the map in more detail.  I've been saying this on GBO for a long time that the popular vote is not the way to go.  Nor is a flat tax.  If we need taxes, then implement an user tax, so those who spend more, pay more.  No tax on necessities or first time home buyers, whatever the price.  All others pay including those illegal activities which pay no taxes now.  With the laundered money this inlawful money is spent on luxuries, so would be taxed anyway.
