Gee James, I thought we had about 7 million people!  James and I live near 
the 5th largest city in the state and it has only about 65,000 people.

  Many of us in our graves is what it would take.  The country is not set up 
on 
  an electoral college basis for nothing.  My state has scarcely 5 million 
  people.  In a popular vote, we might as well not even participate.  
California, 
  NY, Fla, and a few other states would always choose the president and to 
their 
  own advantage.  Popular vote would be an exceedeingly bad thing.

  That does not encourage me.  Better would be voters, especially 18 yo's, to 
  cast their votes complety 'sange-froid'.    Nearly every Obama supporter 
I've 
  talked to (not absolutely all, but almost) bubble over with the change for 
the 
  sake of changing the changes, oh boy, bright new world .... isn't all this 
  enthusiasm great!?

  No. It isn't.  When asked about what specifically they hope an Obama 
  administration will address, they don't know.  We just know that those 
other guys are 
  ... well .... bad, you know.

  I'd prefer the colder blooded 18 yo who is demonstrating more than a party 
  atmosphere at the polls.
