As a side, please don't turns arguments into patriotism. Nothing makes me oppose something said more than when someone tries to make it about patriotism.
My apologies if I offended. This article seems very anti-republican, and that is unfair. There was a backhanded apology in there, in that they pointed out that it was a NH Rep. They probably could have found any old Rep, but using Bigfoot or Unicorn is more humorous to those in the media. These rules are equally unfair to both parties, and it benefits both parties.
All that said, I think its our soldiers, who really get shortchange and disenfrancised. I often wish they had a louder avocate. I guess I don't see why students should be afforded an advantage our soldier don't have. However, I left topic, and for that I apologize.
Correct, the only time this matter is for the vote for President. (i.e. Commander and Chief of our soldiers, shit, I digress again, sorry.)I'm not sure this affects much besides who will be chosen to run against the president. I thought the actual presidential vote all happens in the same day (within hours to account for time differences).
I can debate both sides actually. Both sides have valid points. That said, I can see room for improvement.I don't know much about this so I would love to hear your thoughts on the strenghs and weakeness of indirect-election-federalism. Perhaps we should take this offline as it will be a good conversation. =)
