Elect. College

Another Wide-Ranging Debate:

Cassandra is writing about a proposal to eliminate the Electoral College, and invites bloggers and commenters to consider the question.

Personally, I'm for keeping the college and doing away with Presidential elections; it seems to me the same logic allows for either option. All you Campaign Finance Reform supporters can jump on the bandwagon here: we can eliminate the need for campaigns all together! Or possibly also the existence of the states, as Mr. Spd Rdr suggests...

The possibilies are endless, when you take up tinkering with the Constitutional system for no particular reason.
