I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Let me rectify that to "why hasn't it been changed in light of recent events", in other words. I suppose there's more then one way to take a lazy protestation, after all, so i understand your frustration. :P

I personally think the EC is a good idea but a lot of my friends don't think so, but just because Obama won. I may not like the man's policies, but he won. It's like, "Oh, the guy I don't like won, so therefore the system is flawed."

Obama would have won the election even if we did not have the electoral college, by a margin of 4,738,230 votes, so I don't know what your friends are on about.

I remember some people here predicting that Obama might win the EC but lose the popular vote. Of course that didn't happen, and in fact, that scenario is extremely unlikely. The EC system is biased against the more highly-populated states, which are where Democrats do best. If the Democrat wins the EC, it's almost assured that he got the popular vote, too.

But hey, if Republicans want to believe that scrapping the EC will give them some strategic advantage, then go for it ;D

It isn't impossible by any means, though. Nate Silver gave it a 1.3% chance of happening, as I recall.
