Why 29? Why not 57?

There is no popular vote. We vote, by states, for the president through our electors.

Sorry if that doesn’t give the Democrat-Fraud-Vote printers in Chicago/Philadelphia/New York enough power. There are lots of corrupt places around the world ready to accommodate anyone that wants corruption.

"Most analysts believe the 2012 election will be decided by fewer than 29 Electoral College votes."

Most analysts are habitually wrong.

(Which is why they're analysts instead of actually doing something.)

Its a solution in search of a problem.

You can abolish the electoral college and have the President elected by direct popular vote.

No faithless elector and zero chance any one other the popular vote winner gets elected.

There is nothing wrong with the electoral college that needs to be fixed. If we need to change, get rid of it rather than try to mend it.

That is both logical and honest.

How about we give people who employ at least one other person 2 votes and people who employ at least 2 other people 3 votes etc.…?

How about we give people who own real property tax assessed in excess of $250,000 2 votes and people possessed of property in excess of $500,000 3 votes…?

In Greece, whichever party wins the popular vote receives fifty extra seats in congress...

How about we follow the Constitution when electing a President, and then we continue to follow the Constitution when the President acts as Commander-in-Chief and as head of the Executive Branch of our federal government?

Sounds like a media welfare program because of all the additional annoying campaign ads that will be required.

When I see a Democrat make such a suggestion, I completely picture the worst of the worst used car dealers selling a car with a hidden history and getting a gullible buyer to finance on location.

How about we just give each county one electoral vote? Of course we could just rely on convincing enough voters to vote for our candidate so we don’t have to game the system.

It should be a relatively trivial matter for Virginia (for example, and we got Moran guys, we have the Democrat brain trust on vote fraud right here) to report out 53,298,102 votes for the winning candidate!

I'm absolutely certain Governor McDonnell and lt. Governor Bolling would love to approve this process ~ just to simplify things and get the preliminaries over with as soon as possible.

Bipartisanship at its finest eh!
