Kinda sorta. Population Vote + the Electoral College. Rather complicated system, but if you can't figure it out by reading a textbook, I would reccomend grabbing a copy of the School House Rock Election Edition which was re-released with 2 new songs this year. I got one yesterday. I love the interjection song, and Conjunction, junction, what's your function? one.

Yeah, during the week of the Democratic convention, there were many asassination threats. During one speech at FSU a month and a half ago, some college demonstrators whom were racist screamed racial slurs. During the speech he stopped for about a mnute, looked around then addressed his audience. He came back to the podium and responded : "Although I respect your first ammendment right of Freedom of Speech, I would appreciate it if you would let me continue on with what I had to say." Then he kept going, so even if an asassination were to happen, he's not afraid of it. But I do believe his family as well as supporters are deeply concerned by it.

I am ABSOLUTELY concerned. And John McCain's apology speech this week telling his supporters that Obama is NOT a terrorist and IS, in fact a patriotic Family Man - I read that to be a last-ditch effort so as not to appear responsible for the assassination of our first black president (you know, AFTER subversively allowing his campaign to call Obama a terrorist, "Barak Hussein Obama," and alluding to his "terrorist supporters," essentially feeding the prejudice fire). I... was... horrified.

Yeah his campaign has done a lot of stuff...called him a terrorist...a communist...a Muslim. But all elections in October get "nasty," because it's so close to the elections. But don't get me wrong, I don't condone it; just saying close to November even the cleanest of elections get a little messy--whether intentionally or accidentally.
