This election has been going on for way too long, and it needs to end. Some of the campaigns are over a year old, and we still have a ways to go...completely unacceptable.

Someone on Slate or Newsweek or somewhere wrote an article about some guy who came up with the idea of using some sort of algorithmic formula to elect a president, rather than the current, completely out-of-date and useless electoral college.
Their idea was to mirror the idea of a site like hotornot.com, where you rate your three top picks, and give them a grade of 1-5 on how much you want them to be President. For example, in my case I would give Ron Paul a 5, and Barack and Edwards a 2 or 3. Each candidates points are then added up, and the one with the most wins. Although, theoretically, with 10 candidates in the race there is the potential the winner might only wind up with 12% of the votes, while the others all fall a little under 10%. So instead you can take the top 4 candidates and do it again, and then that winner takes all.
Makes sense to me. Then you don't have any more incidents like what happened in 2000...


Also, I don't care who you are. You do not cry on the campaign trail because it is a "hard journey to the White House." There's no crying in baseball!the road to the White House. What happens when you are actually in office? Are you going to cry under the pressure from that too?
