re: #352 EPR-radar

For example, I fully expect to see any swing states or blue states whose voters are stupid enough to let the GOP retain power at the state level in the 2014 midterms to find ways to give the GOP candidate in 2016 electoral votes.

It will be interesting to see how apologists and hacks at NRO and elsewhere try to spin that abomination.

In 2000, when it looked like Gore might lose the popular vote but win the EC, there were calls on the right to get rid of that antiquated hangover from the past. When the exact opposite happened, suddenly it became a revered institution willed to us by those incredibly wise Founding Fathers.

It really is all about power. All their talk of principles is just to fool themselves and, with luck, others.
