popular vote should be all we go by, each vote counts.

because personally i feel completely disenfranchised by the electoral college, MI has a HUGE union dominance due to our manufacturing status, its a blue state which means regardless of who i vote for, the states vote goes to dem. it's never even a question who gets MI and it makes me sad :wtc:

Oh I remember what this feeling is.. Pride in my nation. Wow.. been a while.

I feel the same way man. It's been too damn long since I've been able to say that I am PROUD to be an American! :usa: No longer will we be a country divided. As I was watching President Elect Obama making his speach last night I felt vindicated. His words were so powerful they brought tears to my eyes. The man really reminds me of John F Kennedy and I can't wait to see the direction he LEADS this country in.
