The popular vote is supposed to influence the electoral vote. It doesn't do this 100% of the time, but it still has an influence on the outcome. Al-be-it, not as much as the corporate masters who have the politicians in their hip pockets.
But that is how the Republic was founded. The people weren't meant to be directly involved in every aspect of it. There are specific guidelines in the Constitution that outline all of this. Although from what i heard last time, G.W.Bush thinks it's nothing more than a "G.D." piece of paper, and it has to make one wonder how many in D.C. think the same way.
Personally, I like the guy (sorry, can't think of his name at the moment) running for the Whig Party. His motto is, We gave this country liberty the first time 230 years ago, and it looks like it's up to us to do it again.
I'll take liberty and personal responsibility any day over servitude and masters.
