Hey election-the 1700s called, they want their electoral college back!

Here it is almost presidential election time again. I don't know why I bother to go and vote because I live in Kentucky and its already decided. My vote for President Obama won't count.

I envy the swing states, they get lots of candidate face time while the rest of us can just stand on the sidelines and watch. People I talk to here, especially other democrats say the same thing, why vote at all? I will vote in the upcoming election because I always vote but unfortunately my vote won't count and I might just write in "ham sandwich."

What is so wrong about the one person, one vote concept? Why can't EVERYONE'S vote count? Isn't that what a democracy is all about?

What will happen if we have a repeat of the Bush/Gore debacle? Can you say President Romney? Will we finally get serious about abolishing the electoral college then?
