ernets right posted by righty64 at 9 33 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels alex jones conspiracy theorists homosexuality juice boxes the american spectator saturday january 26 2013 what about that electoral college ahh the electoral college the real way that our president s are elected it has been a source of angst since well since the founding of the republic many people on both sides look at the electoral college and think may it is time to just get rid of it it is of a bygone era we should just elect our president by popular vote after all senators used to be appointed by state legislatures per the constitution now they are directly elected by the people in every state why not presidents well firstly the electoral college is in place primarily to keep a check and balance the check is on the larger populated states the balance is that no state no matter how small or large is at a disadvantage when voting for president in other words wyoming counts as much as california in theory the election in 2000 was the first time since 1888 that the electoral college truly decided a presidential election in 2000 republican george w bush received less of the popular vote than democrat albert arnold gore but mr bush won the electoral college by the barest of majorities 271 266 and 270 is the magic number it is why when the florida presidential vote became agonizingly close the whole electoral college concept was being debated itself once that election was settled the trend became clear that both the republican and democrat parties started with a certain amount of states that were going to be in their corner and those that neither party wasted much time or resources in that left basically a handful of states determining the winner of their state and thus the electoral college so how does it work well on presidential election day we are not really voting for the candidate of our choice directly we are voting for a candidate to win the most votes and thus win that state s electoral votes so let me use my state of california as an example california has 55 electoral votes they are distributed as follows 53 votes based on the 53 congressional districts in the state the remaining two votes equaling the number of senators and there are 55 electoral votes who ever wins the most votes in this state gets all the electoral votes since 1992 california has voted for democrat candidates and thus the 55 electoral votes have gone to the democrat candidate win or lose the majority of electoral votes nationwide so in 2000 and 2004 while a democrat won the most votes in california it did not matter because the republican won more in other parts of the united states when the electoral college meets later in the election year california s votes go to the democrat candidate because the democrat won the most votes in the state it is primarily the way it works in 48 of the 50 states unless one wants to count the seven add ons courtesy of then presidential candidate sen messiah barack yes i jest but it is fun to watch our constitutional scholar prez not know quite how many states there are in this union two states maine and nebraska apportion their electors not state wide but by congressional district thus and few people know this very republican nebraska actually was able to award an electoral delegate to barack obama because he won the most votes in the congressional district in and around omaha the state s largest city and the last three elections saw republican candidates try to win the maine 2nd congressional district as it is more republican friendly in an equally democrat state as nebraska is republican and both states made the change by initiative asking the state voters to decide the question now some states in which the republican candidate in 2012 mitt romney lost are trying to come up with similar electoral vote distribution as do maine and nebraska now the rich claim of the democrats is that why by golly the republicans are trying to steal elections because in virginia where the dear leader president obama won the 13 electoral votes that would not have happened in the last election if mr romney won the majority in the 11 congressional districts he could have won the state based on the distribution of the electoral vote instead of all 13 votes going to team obama maybe only five of the 11 would have gone their way team romney could have won six electoral votes and thus the state so do the democrats have a point not really because each state can distribute the electoral votes as they want to and if one thinks that they don t have a trick up their sleeve to totally undermine the whole concept of the electoral college there is the so called national popular vote interstate compact and it is doozy so remember how in 2000 and 2004 california voters voted for the democrat for president and the republican won under this scheme if enough states were to follow suit california s electoral votes could have been given to one republican george w bush that truly undermines the intent of the electoral college not whether or not a state chooses to distribute the vote by congressional district or not and that is the intent and yes this is an idea passed in democrat controlled states so if one wants to be truly cynical both political parties want something that they believe will give them a perpetual advantage and the whole concept of the electoral college is to not have that happen at least the republicans want to keep the electoral college the democrats see that as i noted something old and not suitable to the times but the fact is that if more states went to the congressional district distribution of electoral votes it would make both political parties expand the map right now they both seem to like that the presidential race boils down to less than 10 states and they can micro target and all that in places like ohio pennsylvania iowa florida to regain a competitive two party system in california right now there are 15 republican congressional districts and the democrats have the remaining 38 more than a two to one advantage but in a close race california republicans could actually see their candidate at rallies and the like now all they do is come in for a fundraiser and leave it would give the state party a needed boost and the democrats do the same thing and one can use that same scenario for a republican state like utah yes now with four congressional districts there is one that is held by a democrat why it would have been possible for the dear leader president obama to have actually campaigned in utah to try to win that electoral vote under this system the electoral map is expanded and a presidential campaign can really be a national one and we should let the constitution be the guide let the state determine how to distribute the electoral votes and no the sky has not fallen because two states already have such a plan in place the electoral college is needed more than ever today for a nation that values the role of state government as being the best way to govern it avoids the potential tyranny of a majority either way it is a safeguard that not one state will be more powerful than another in the most important duty of the citizen the way we elect a president posted by righty64 at 1 21 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels democrats electoral college republicans friday january 25 2013 is the gop finally getting it well nothing makes a political party think more than losing a winnable presidential election than well losing sure the republican party did gain ground in governor races in 2012 and expanded on their majority of state legislatures but as mentioned they lost the presidential race they lost winnable senate seats and thus are in the minority and they did lose eight seats in the house of representatives so this week the republican national committee is meeting and judging by what the leadership of the party is suggesting it is time not just to come up with a new playbook but a new way of reaching beyond the reliable republican voter while the party reelected the chair reince priebus what sick parents would actually name their child reince some conservatives will grumble that under his leadership the party did not take back the white house as many expected in 2012 i will defend mr priebus in this respect once mitt romney won the nomination he pretty much assimilated his team with the rnc in reality mr priebus was but a face and more figurehead while team romney ended up on a crash and burn now let us see if he can actually lead the party on his own it appears that he is on the right track michael walsh over at national review online highlights this from the rnc chair it s time to stop looking at elections through the lens of battleground states we have four years till the next presidential election and being a blue state is not a permanent diagnosis simple outreach a few months before an election will not suffice in fact let s stop talking about reaching out and start working on welcoming in political support is cultivated over time not collected on election day bang mr p is totally spot on and mr walsh goes on to state the obvious that the rnc basically writes off states and whole regions now before an national election even begins the great litany of states the republicans did not even bother with california oregon washington the three above states make up the pacific coast illinois that is one midwest state the gop seems to give a big fat meh to in every election since reagan connecticut massachusetts maine rhode island vermont and there is most of new england save for new hampshire which is becoming hard to figure out new york new jersey delaware maryland the mid atlantic region the gop only plays for pennsylvania and virginia is not totally blue just yet and my friends the republican party starts off a presidential election about 204 electoral seats that they simply give to the democrats because they have decided most of these states are lost for the foreseeable future why mr walsh blames the permanent consultant class that many in the gop think are gods and his big bugaboo is one karl rove and i do think that he is on to something there yes there are some states that maybe the gop can t win now but if the party stays at least competitive and builds up from the areas of a said state kind of out of the gop orbit really there is no reason for the republican party to not be more competitive in california look at the map from the just concluded 2012 presidential death march er election there is a lot of red in there imagine if the cali gop had the money and or resources to compete in san bernardino county san diego county and yes even in my dreaded county los angeles maybe mr romney would have racked up better numbers here in los angeles county maybe he could have got as much as 40 and maybe he would have won san bernardino and san diego counties had larger margins in orange and riverside counties it is doable but here is a reality we know that the only time republicans come to california they leave with a boatload of cash and that is all and many many republicans that i know personally shrug their shoulders and say that their vote does not matter because the democrat will win it is a self suppression of voting and i am certain that is how republicans feel in many of the aforementioned states above that has to stop that is why we must hold mr p accountable that he is going to go balls to the wall to fight in every single state every single possible race and fight using the same successful tools that the democrats used to win and even the liberal daily holy bible the new york times is noticing what the gop is about to embark on and ace over at the ace of spades explains it right here that yes there are republicans behind enemy lines it is just that they have to be courted and looong before presidential election day if there is to be any chance of building up and getting said voters motivated and voting and this does dove tail nicely to this very interesting and worthwhile article by aaron renn for new geography mr renn makes a good case why republicans need to begin to look at and yes retake the cities i think there are some good ideas but mr renn is setting up the conversation not saying it is his way or the highway remember that it was not a lifetime ago but the mid 1990s when republicans mayors were leading in los angeles richard riordan and new york city rudy giuliani now they are as mr renn wrote democrat cesspools with no end to the corruption in sight and the best is for last as louisiana governor bobby jindal makes the case that it is time to stop worrying so much about washington d c political cesspool central and worry about getting the conservative republican message to the masses here are some remarks from gov jindal made to the rnc meeting in charlotte north carolina we do not need to change what we believe as conservatives our principles are timeless but we do need to re orient our focus to the place where conservatism thrives in the real world beyond the washington beltway today s conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget the burgeoning deficits the mammoth federal debt the shortfall in our entitlement programs we seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping this is a rigged game and it is the wrong game for us to play the republican party must become the party of growth the party of a prosperous future that is based in our economic growth and opportunity that is based in every community in this great country and that is not based in washington d c i could not agree more with gov jindal it will be up to people like gov jindal gov nikki haley of south carolina the new governor of north carolina pat mccrory people like that to take common sense conservatism to the people they have to go over the heads of the obamawhore media they have to show blue america why common sense conservatism works i think that finally the republican party is waking up and realizing that shrinking the field is not a way to win elections and thus not a way to govern

reince priebus republicans wednesday january 23 2013 there is actually good news for gop now that the inaugural hoopla is over and we know we are stuck with our dear leader president obama for the next four years 1 458 days but who s counting there is much gnashing of teeth over the fate of the loyal opposition the republican party the angst is palpable on both the left and the right the left
