While I agree that it is a shame we have elected a President based on apportionment rather than confirmed the popular vote with the state electors, we have survived this before (don't get me wrong, I am not a GW man by any means...) and I can't really see this as a "coup d'etat" as both candidates were so much more similar than different...I agree that there is a chance for a more conservative bench in the next few years, but with a 50/50 Senate no extreme conservatives stand a chance...

The others members of the list may be in need of RESCUE. You need much, much more. For one, you need to start getting things sorted out. So here it goes, a patronizing advice to the most patronizing country in the world: GET A NEW ELECTORAL SYSTEM! Just something that looks a bit like one. You shouldn't have trouble understanding how a normal system works but, in case you do, it goes like this: 1. People vote (normally by making a cross on a piece of paper) 2. The guy/party who gets more votes wins (that's weird...) 3. The guy/party who wins becomes president/prime-minister/whatever If you need an example, it's even easier - find yourself a globe or an atlas, close your eyes, and point. That'll do: with a few exceptions, it's probable that any country your finger points, has a better system then yours. Even most non-democratic countries have better written systems then yours (that's why they need to cheat before, during and after the voting process...) Lighten up, P PS - It might also be healthier for everybody in the world (not just Americans) if next time you could elect (and I don't care with how many less votes then the loser) someone who has a some kind of idea about the world he lives in.
