Lee Iacocca doesn't strike me as a guy that would ever allow anybody to 'drag' him anyplace that he didn't want to go, even at 87.
I have mixed emotions about the Electoral College I can see both sides of the argument. Have you thought about an Electoral College tie? What a nightmare that would be, but it's a possibility.
[QUOTE=Punter 127; 427900]It's the unraveling of the Obama administration's foreign policy.
What foreign policy? Obama doesn't have one. What economic policy? Obama doesn't have one.
But there is still hope. Obama is planning an in depth interview with Big Bird to explain his plans for the future. Whoops, Obama is going to explain what he plans to do when he gets kicked out of the White House. I guess we will never know if Obama has a foreign policy or an economic policy.

Hardly any worse than the Supreme Court picking the President, which you may recall, led to the most catastrophic Presidency in a century.

Oh, now I see; DC has 3 electoral votes now which they did not when I was I lad. So 538, so there could be a tie. Bad planning. 1876 was sort of a mess, although not a tie. The Republicans stole that one (although the Dems got something in return) even though the Democrat, Tilden, had more popular votes [B]and[/B] more electoral votes. A committee voting on straight party lines decided the election. Hmmm, where have we seen that before? Does the phrase "hanging chad" mean anything to you?
Direct popular vote. One person, one vote. Very simple and easy to administer.
The Republicans are having a hard time keeping the minorities from Voting.
It is interesting what this women thinks about BinderGate.
WT, did you see this one: [b]Romnesia[/b]
Obama rolled it out in a speech in Virginia yesterday. Republicans may say this is small-minded, but it's all about trust. How do you trust a presidential candidate that flip flops on his own positions as much as Romney? How do you know what he stands for, or what he would really do? Valid questions.

I wish I had thought of this.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]28553[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]Yes, we know: Romney flip-flops and Obama "evolves".
I am reminded of something that Winston Churchill once said to a woman who accused him of changing his mind: [i]"Madame, I change my mind when the circumstances change. What, pray tell, is it that you do?"[/i]

So we could end up with Romney as President and Biden as VP. However I don't think they're limit to the current candidates, I think they can pick DickHead if they want.
It's all spelled out in the 12th Amendment. I'm not sure if it's the current House and Senate or the one that takes office in January, it just says the 'House has [u]until[/u] the fourth day of March to select a president'.
[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;427918]It is interesting what this women thinks about BinderGate.[/QUOTE] The only one I can think of besides Mitt Romney who keeps "binders full of women" would be Hugh Hefner.
It is the new Congress (which I feel is correct) , and there is a twist in that you can't just say whoever holds the House majority will prevail, because each state's delegation gets one vote (which sucks in my opinion). Not sure what would happen if it was then 25-25. But the Republicans now control 33 delegations and one is evenly split. So the Republicans would have an edge unless a whole shitload of Dems get elected. That seems unlikely but if it did, Obama would probably have won anyway, right? One guy is running computer sims and saying the possibility of a tie is 1 in 160. Not very high but scary. It would be a terrible thing for the country. I would prefer either candidate win, rather than a tie and more hanging chad type of shit.
The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear binders full of women are massage places in Bangkok, where they give you a binder full of photos and you pick your date. Moveon and WorldTravel, anybody on this board who has a problem with what Romney said, and I'm not saying you do, would be living in some other world, populated by radical feminists and hypocrites.

Also in some states the electors are not required by law to cast their vote according to the popular vote, they can vote any way they want. There has been a few times that an elector didn't follow the popular vote but it never effected the outcome of the election, but it could. Can you imagine the under the table BS that would be going on between election day and the day the Electoral College votes. Let's hope it doesn't happen, it would just divide the country more than it is now.

Stop the fucking bullshit.
You know god damn well that he was referring to binders full of women's [u]resumes[/u].
Gentlemen, this election is [u]NOT[/u] about Mitt Romney having made a statement in which any sane person would have readily understood that the word "resumes" was implied.
Please do not let the Liberals divert your attention from what's really important:
[size=3][b]- 8.3% unemployment
- $3.80 per gallon gas
- $1,000,000,000,000 annual budget deficits
- $16,000,000,000,000 national debt
- $51,074.84 of national debt owed by each citizen[/b][/size]
