I had forgotten about the electoral college business. Colorado has a new amendment on the ballot this year which would divide the state's nine votes between the candidates in proportion to the votes received, in place of winner takes all. Seems a far fairer way of doing it.

It's worth bearing in mind that the Kennedy-Nixon election in 1960 probably went the wrong way.

The opposite is true as well

Rural over Urban...See "The Bjelke-Mander" link

Under Sir Joh Bielke Petersen Queensland became known as the
"Japanese Game Of Monopoly" and corruption was rife through Goverment & the Police for close to thirty years
