Your statement of the problem is incomplete. Are all 20 of those states winner take all or do they apportion their electors? This is vital information without which the question is unanswerable. Vital? You're on drugs. The idiot asked a hypothetical question, so just give him a hypothetical answer. Sheesh! Don't act like an idiot yourself. |

news:u5GJc.2976$Zr.1934@okepread01: [snip] What do you call a political system that has a Legislature, a Judiciary, and an Executive branch of government? OK, what do you call it. Sounds most like a Republic but could also apply to other forms of gummint.

: [snip] You're splitting hairs. It still sounds like independence was granted. But if it makes you less humiliated, call it by another name. As I said, call it what you will. It was a recognition of the facts that a succesful rebellion had established. At that point he could have declared himself King of Coney Island for all the effect that would have had. The US delegation wouldn't have signed such a treaty of course but it wouldn't have altered the basic facts on the ground one smidge, jot, tittle, or iota. To get a really good example of rhetoric avoiding unpleasantness one could do worse than the words of the Showa Emperor (Hirohito) announcing to this subjects that the situation had not developed entirely to japan's advantage. That was a monumental understatement.

: [snip] That's exactly what I thought. You thought? That would be news to us. You've never shown the slightest evidence of thought before. And we still don't know how electors in your hypothetical situation are seated. So we cannot say how it would turn out without making assumptions whith which you may be at odds.

Why did he become a weekend warrior when
he could have become a full-time warrior? Suppose you went to a recruiter and they said they didn't have any pilot slots available. You could join the USAF and take what they have. You could go over to the Guard outfit and find that they have some slots available, but you have to join the Guard first. Suppose you join the Guard as enlisted, get selected for pilot training, and receive a commission. Presto, you're a pilot trainee, instead of a clerk in the payroll office, or stuck in a rocket silo in Montana. Would you rather be a pilot, or be a PFC burning **** in Sihanoukville? |

Irrelevant is perhaps overstating the case. The popular vote IS relevant in that it determines what electors are seated but does not directly determine the outcome of the Presidential race. Its not mysterious or secret. He's altering my words. This is what I said: "If by 'public vote' you're referring to the national popular vote total, it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the election of the president." The popular vote is not irrelevant, but the figure that is derived by adding the popular votes cast for each candidate in each state is irrelevant. It's a meaningless statistic. |

Subject: Why didn't GWB join the U.S. Air Force ?
From: "Prof. Vincent Brannigan" Date: 7/17/2004 5:00 AM Pacific Standard Time Amendment X : :The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor rohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, r to the people. The interesting thing is that while we now have both an administration and Supreme Court that gives preference to states rights, the Federal government now has never been larger, more powerful and spent more than ever before.
