Before being allowed to vote, American citizens should be required to pass a simple intelligence test. Too many votes are cast by idiots and illiterates. These are not the people who need to be choosing the leaders of this country.

“Going into their primary caucuses, Iowans had a huge slate of Democratic candidates to choose from, but at the end of the day their lack of vision and courage led them to give into their “anybody but Bush” impulses and pick the safest candidate, John Kerry.”

I must say this confuses me. Seeing as none of the Democratic candidates were Bush, I can’t see how the “‘anybody but Bush’ impulse” would affect the outcome of the Democratic caucuses.

Forgive the cursing, but…

Fuck Iowa and New Hampshire. No state deserves that much influence. Not New York. Not California. Not these two places.

The whole election process here is flawed in the extreme. If we can do anything to improve it–and this is a good start–then we must.

I am all in favor of requiring electoral votes to be apportioned proportionately to the popular vote in a state. Winner-take-all was a great system for the few states who did it first, because it gave them more attention from candidates, but now that most states do it, it just means the vast majority of us are completely ignored in every election while the few “battleground” states are fought over.
