The popular vote is the key to winning all elections
except the presidency. Even then, whites compose 75% of the US Population. Tell me how adding up the minorities will be able to win against that?

Well... weren't we kind of talking about the presidency? Blacks and hispanics cover about 35% of the spectrum, with Asians taking 5%. If you were to get a popular vote that included 30% of these, you would only need a little over half of whites in the popular vote. If you win the popular vote, you usually win the electoral college.

Really and truly, it doesn't matter who is the president, the costs are not going to change. Heck, if Palin wins 2012, she'll probably use AF1 ever weekend for wolf hunting
. In regards to Obama, yea, he as his faults but I think that he hasn't done that bad.
What the heck does that mean? You're telling me the Republicans believe in high taxes and spending to fix the economy? I don't think so.
Palin won't win in 2012, shes already screwed it up for herself.
Obama has done very bad. He has betrayed the American people by shoving healthcare down their throats, which ultimately resulted in the changing of house majority.

I bet he knows there's only 50 states though, if he does, he's already smarter than Obama!
