<p>Seriously. I just came up with this. Someone pass it on to Jay Leno or David Letterman.</p>
<p>I know, I know, he was shot down, but come on, it is a pretty good one-liner.</p>
<p>BTW, i am not pro-obama.<br>
I will probably vote Nader. Yeah, protest vote! </p>
<p>It wouldn't matter how i voted anyway, as the OC is always a die hard republican district, which doesn't matter anyway because CA is pretty much guaranteed to go Democratic. </p>
<p>That's why the Republicans in this state want to try and change our state's winner take all method of awarding votes to presidential candidates to a congressional district method similar to that of Nebraska or Maine that would allow California's 55 electoral votes (out of a total of 538) to be split.</p>

<p>I hope the above link scares some of you Demonuts out there. It will not happen this election (2008), but it may happen the next time around.</p>
<p>An addition to the getting shot down thing.</p>
<p>A President has to maneuver a country through difficulties just like a pilot.</p>
<p>Its only fair, the idea of "all or none" doesn't represent the true word of the people. It allows for mob rule, so I believe the system should truly try and reflect the best it can every vote. </p>
<p>Remember we live in a Constitutional republic, not a democracy. Democracy allows the majority(mob) to overthrow the rights of the minority, which is why we don't have such a system. Imagine if we did have a democracy and every citizen voted on every topic and there was no representatives, Whites could easily enslave minorities or have them killed. </p>
<p>"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

Dr Horse, you are a killjoy. Lighten up. </p>
<p>Additionally, thats why we have a little thing called the judiciary. Its there to protect minority rights you bozo. Thats why the civil rights movement largely succeeded. Whenever you read about the civil rights movements of the 1950s to 1970s, what you will mostly read about is court cases.</p>
<p>Dr. Horse, I hope you wouldn't be opposed to them doing it for all states, not just California?</p>
