I agree 100%, it just proves how ignorant the general public is and how powerful the media is in influencing people. I don't know about you, but that kinda proves that some were just looking at skin color when choosing who they would vote for. Just my .02 worth.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." [Samuel Adams]

And I had an argument just the other day with my older son about the Electoral College - he thinks it should be "ratified" (he meant abolished!   :(  Yes, he went through public education!  >:( ) .

The sheer stupidity of the American public is the very reason the EC exists - to prevent a mobrocracy and the pandering of a demogogue to the masses. Son thinks that if the EC rejects bho as a candidate (not bloody likely) due to his not being able to prove his citizenship, there should be riots protesting the "injusticce". As long as it is their own nests that they soil, that is fine.

I'm ten long rural miles from Fargo, although just off the freeway (that's interstate to the rest of you folks not from ND), so if there is any trouble, I should be clear. What with good roads, though, who knows.
