Please come and take you're's back to were they all came from. Their thick here on the TV, phone all day, and signs everywhere. Because we're first. We get all 20 some at once. We end up with the circus in town for 18 months. HELP. Can someone else be first. You can have the side show. FOR FREE. Move it to a state with a good racial balance. Because we don't. We're a bad example of a true AMERICA. SAVE US FROM OURSELVES. ( GRIN ) PS. DON'T DISCUSES THIS STUFF HERE. Just having some fun. Thanks Bob Dunahugh

Being an ex-pat Brit now Scottish American Brit.....I find the US political system utterly fascinating.......its like a slow motion train wreck.

Makes me nostalgic about UK elections and politicians.....far less corruption, almost no TV ads and over and done in about 6 weeks. Yes they still elect the
odd nut or two but they tend to be the nice british eccentric sort of nut

When you have the world's oldest written still in use Constitution you can get some oddball practices. Our two party system, and absolutely ludicrous presidential campaigns, are the direct result of the electoral college, a practice designed to protect government from an illiterate, uneducated, uninformed, disparate, agrarian 18th century society with no idea of what is happening in the next county, let alone across the globe. There is a lot to like in our Constitution, even 225+ years after it was enacted, but the electoral college is an anachronism that has created some truly troubling problems.

Sadly it is in both parties best interests to keep the electoral college, so we are stuck with it as we are stuck with them.

It says a lot when we find out, British politicians 'Stand' for office, while US pols 'Run' for office. There's a message there.

Is that to make them more "fit" for office?
