That is the theory behind the EC. But that was proven not to be the case when an inexperienced, rabble rousing, Alinsky-ite Socialist named Barry O'Bama was elected
oh great. Another Hannity- talking- point watching, n00b
I'm not necessarily a Hannity supporter (I identify myself as a Reagan Conservative). Sean claims to be a Conservative, but to me he comes across more as a Republican (Conservative and Republican are not necessarily synonymous), than I feel comfortable with. He regurgitates too many Establishment Republican talking-points that I totally disagree with,and at times just gets "out there". Not as bad as Glen Beck, but still...
What I said first was based on research (Try Googling "Reason for creating the Electoral College). The Founders created the Elector College to stop the election of the unqualified, or the smooth-talking Tyrant. And, through compromise with the smaller states, to give ALL of the states a voice in a Presidential election.
What I stated last stems from my opinion, research, and eye-test, of who Obama is.
As far as being a noob, so what. Everyone in here was a newbie at one time or another, so don't minimize my beliefs or statements because now I am. Disagree with me? Sure, have at it. All I ask is that you cry to prove your point civilly. That's what I try, and maybe often fail, to do. Please afford me the same.
