Romney wins popular vote, but Obama wins Electoral votes?

[tresbigdog]

I actually alluded to that happening last month on my Facebook page. A friend just text me and told me that the buzz this morning is that experts are considering that a strong possibility. Has anyone else heard that today on TV?

Happened in 2000, Gore won by a half a million votes but republicans didn't seem to bitch about it then, maybe this time they will get behind efforts to circumvent the electoral college on a state-by-state level.

Yeah but if it had been a popular vote that controlled the outcome in 2000 they would have had to count all the vote and then do a recount of all the votes. Imagine that cluster.

That's odd. I don't see any list of Democrat names there. I see a link that anyone could have found...but no names.

Nooooo. I've been gone a few years. I am on another board with a few of them besides this place. This place is XXXXXX times 10,000.

Doubtful, we are a federal republic...EVERY state gets a say in the election of our president.

Republicans have labeled such efforts as urban power grabs. I am beginning to see that you just like to argue in spite of the fact that you are uninformed and do not like to read.

If it happens, you won't see me crying foul about the electoral college....unlike the libs did in 2000.

It's high time the whole antiquated system was scrapped. All of the problems it was meant to address have been solved by mass media saturation.

It seems that democrats are accepting the fact that obama is going to lose the popular vote and are clinging to him winning the electoral vote.
