If that's actually the case it would just show how overblown complaints about Citizen's United is. Since if it was an actual problem you would expect politicians would never allow such a bill to leave congress, let alone be adopted by the states. Personally, I think democrats like the spectre of "evil republican money" knowing that it really doesn't do much, if anything.
Personally, I'd put "Abolish the electoral college" at number 1. If Obama pulls off a win but loses the popular vote, both parties will have been bitten within recent history and the general public will be angry. Meanwhile, most states would likely be willing to adopt this since only 5-7 states benefit anyway. |
Does that then mark the end of the primary system as we know it? Definitely see the prospects of candidates only going around to major states at this point. Very likely the two major parties won't like this, because the like the idea of only having a few battlegrounds to battle over.
But, as it is now also, the approach is for the two parties to not agree on anything.
