      <![CDATA[A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic">republic,/a> and a democracy are not mutually exclusive concepts. I can't imagine what it is about a republic that would make one think that democracy is bad concept to attempt to acheive.

      <![CDATA[Pure democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. If we're going to do away with the Electoral College we'd damn well better take heed of what the Founders said and if we can't improve on it, leave it alone.

      <![CDATA[The National Journal is a conservative leaning group, so clearly they are going to paint this as a closer election that it currently stands. A much better evaulation of the current state of things is found at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ , run by Nate Silver.

      <![CDATA[The real issue is not how well Obama or McCain might do in the closely divided battleground states, but that we shouldn't have battleground states and spectator states in the first place. Every vote in every state should be politically relevant in a presidential election.

      <![CDATA[Why shouldn't it be a dead heat? The American voters as a whole understand that the last several presidential elections have been like choosing between being a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan -- it's Evil Empire either way, you just have slightly different team colors.
