won the Republican Party nomination for the
presidential election in November. All along, Bush
was the predicted winner for the GOP, but Senator
John McCain of Arizona gave the Governor a run for
his money. Although Bush was able to defeat him,
John McCain was, and still is, the best candidate
for the presidency. It was said that the New

It seems to be that amar's major complaint Is that
the college was made for and favors white
southerners and that the EC diminishes the value
of one-man one vote. Yet all his problems seem to
be just statements with nothing to back it up. He
fails to mention that there were other reasons
that the Electoral College was made. Such as our

The electoral college of the United States of
America should be kept in the way that it has been
functioning for at least 200 years. Democracy in

principle has never been affected by the Electoral

by the founding fathers is represented in this
electoral system. When voters cast their ballots

Political Campaigns Political Parties

Ever since I have use of my memory, I do not like
politics and the voting process at all. It is
because politicians have turned politics and
voting into a moral quandary, since you do not
know if your vote is to support the improvement of
your country or just to put the destiny of the
nation into the hand of corrupt people. It is the
way political parties and their members try to
take control of the power of a nation that makes
me sick. Today, the race for a political seat is a
battle that has n...
