Further remarks on the Electoral College
Ah, the joys of the Electoral College! On the one hand, modern polling techniques can help interested parties to focus their electoral efforts in the most crucial parts of the country -- this time around, apparently it's Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Mexico.On the other hand, one is always tempted to say, "Fuck it! It's totally random anyway!" It's the same general feeling I get in situations where one small mistake is going to spell failure -- I just want to give up from the start and try something else entirely. Sadly, in this case that's not an option, unless by "something else," you mean, "Using your web space, one week before the election, to try to raise money so that Third World people can have their own llama, rather than trying to organize a get-out-the-vote effort in Iowa." Maybe that would be something else.
