[quote=ChildsPlay]Yeah why didn't anyone vote for Ron Paul. He was clearly on the ballot so why?[/quote]

too honest, too old, didnt spend enough on super pacs, was just someone from texas and not some big name republican.

@HomeFront: You're right. This thread is completely serious. Obama lost by -2%. The electoral college is a load of poop.

Sure, there are flaws, but there really isn't a better solution.

[quote=ChildsPlay]It ruins everything. Notice that Romney won the popular vote by -2% but thanks to the electoral college we get stuck with Obama. We should abolish it.[/quote]
Umm..... no.

Mitt Romney LOST the popular vote, AND the electoral college vote.
We won't know the official totals until Florida gets in gear and finishes their count, but Obama won the popular vote easily.

It says Obama had a lead in popular votes too

-2% over Obama? So he lost to Obama then? Stop whining.

As an outsider (non-American), I have no idea how anyone would even consider voting for Romney, he does not seem fit to run a restaurant let alone a country.

[quote=Cheezzydude]Using just the popular vote to determine the winner isn't as good of an idea as you think it is. You're not the first to come up with this. Many ideas have come up. Honestly, this system is the best system.[/quote]
You're wrong go look up the facts. Thanks to the electoral college we get stuck with Nobama. Romney had the popular vote google it. -2% over Obama.

Using just the popular vote to determine the winner isn't as good of an idea as you think it is. You're not the first to come up with this. Many ideas have come up. Honestly, this system is the best system.

He won it by negative two percent? what?
