It may turn around, but it is a long shot.  It looks like Romney won the popular vote, and Obama the Electoral College.  I may have to rethink the electoral college.  It saved us with Bush last time, and hurt this time.

(Later:  Nope, Romney didn’t get the popular vote from what I see, so the electoral college, needs some change, but I think it is still a good idea.  I do have a few choice words to say tot he Libertarians who allowed Testor to stay in the Senatae and the Democrat to take the Governorship.  The difference between the Democrat and the Republican was smaller the the Libertarian canidates total in both races.  That is how Testor won six years ago, too: he got more votes than Burns, but not as many as Burns plus the guy running to the right of him.)

I think the Electoral College should be by Congressional districts, not whole states.  I don’t think the founders considered the idea that one state (California) would have 55 votes (over 1/6 the total needed of 270) and would be deadlocked for one party only.  Maybe it should be LA as one block, San Francisco as one, and northern CA as one and southern CA as one.  As it is the one party can count on CA as 1/6 of the EC votes needed by getting one single vote more than the other party.  Not hard to do with the populations centers of LA and SF. leaving the rest of the state, with a lot of opposing views, out in the cold.

We all need to pray for our Country.  There are very trying times ahead.
