I like Sully's comment. Pretty much the first words that came to my mind when I read the article.

I agree with both of you. Have you heard? Mass legislature has passed a bill waiting for the governors signature. Mass wants to do away with the electoral college. Winner of the national population vote takes all electorial votes in Mass no matter how Mass voters voted. Cute huh. The article said other states are considerng the bill. Hows that hope and change going

Why do we need permanent federal and state employees with their pay and benefits. They could assign the incomong two year national service people to perform the duties. Have a steady influx of employees with no problem.
