I'm gonna go with Pam, here. Not voting is a greater misdeed than voting for any candidate. If you don't participate, you don't have a right to bemoan the outcome.

The part that almost everyone admits is broken is NOT the electoral college; it's the fact that campaigning is expensive and we don't control the sources of campaign money as well as we collectively should. Thus, politics is beholden to interests larger than an electoral bloc. But we're working on it courtesy of the likes of Sen. McCain.

Of greater concern to me is the misuse of our forefathers' determination to separate church and state but conveniently failing to protect the need for that to be bilateral. I suggest that we need to prevent our constitutional republic from becoming a thinly-veiled theocracy.
