Leach is quite a speaker. He always comes across as a gentleman and a deep thinker. But, immediately after the 2000 election, when he came out and said we need to eliminate the Electoral College, I decided the intellectual gentleman bit is just a ruse.
Because, when a man representing a smallish state like Iowa says we need to eliminate the Electoral College, he's either not interested in serving the people of his state, or he's utterly clueless about the purpose and value of the E.C.
I pick "clueless" for $100.
