Now I have my opinions of Colorado Amendment 36, but it seems to me that instead of it being about the voters its being used as a political tool when it should be about votes. If it passes, which is to say if a majority vote for it, it will likely cause havoc on the presidential outcome as well later be deemed unconstitutional since only our lovely state legislatures are the ones who can decide how our electors are chosen. Not that it bloody matters because anything less then pure popular vote is fair. I am for this amendment for a few reasons. First to get the idea out to our legislatures (as if they would listen but we can try) that we want change, second because frankly I could give a damn if our election goes 'smoothly', third anything that breaks or encourages the end of the electoral college I'm all for, and finally because I like to see republicans and democrats squirm. Update 10-27: Here's a link that best explains why I think the Electorial College needs to go.

I thought this recent study about what people really understand about their presidential candidates was interesting. Regardless who wins I can't wait for this election to get over. I'm bloody tired of the incessant commercials, phone calls, fliers, and knowing that not a damn single one of those bloody candidates represents me correctly.
