A Peek Into the Liberal Mindset
You have probably heard of Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, and oft-quoted [liberal] expert on politics. I recently saw a piece he wrote about changing the electoral system and will quote him here not for his political expertise, but for his thought process as a liberal:
More than two centuries later, despite the many storms that have engulfed presidential elections, the Twelfth Amendment still marks the most significant change to the Electoral College in all of American history--a fact that alone suggests that some rethinking may be in order.In other words, we should change the Constitution not because it is creating unforeseen problems, or because it has demonstrably failed. No - regardless of the Constitution's merits, we should change it for the sole reason that it's old.
I'm not taking a position on the issue tackled in his article here. Regardless of one's position on that issue, it should be considered asinine to reject the Constitution simply for its age. But I suppose it's no wonder the [liberal] media loves to quote him.

Actually Paul, I don't read into that comment the same way you do. I think he was commenting more to the whole paragraph, that only 1 change has been made but the problems with the electoral college exist. While I have no comment on the system, I think the criticism needs a broader look at the piece.
