The Democrat Disaster in Denver Senario - the forty-eight state solution

Winner take all is better? How?

As a 25 year Republican, I actually like the percentage allocation system. It is closer to a True Democracy instead of this get 1/3 lose 2/3's of the votes and you win everything primary.

It seems unusual that in my states "state primary" process, if a candidate gets less than 50% of the vote, we have a OH NOOOOO!!-----RUNOFF between the 2 top vote getters. The winner is NOT the one who gets 63% NOT voting for them. But not for the "National" spot, just state and local races.HMMM!

This same winner takes all process is how we now have a Governor who got 38% of the general election vote. He cannot even get 4 in ten to vote for him but he wins. So much for the 50%+1 idea or as it is taught to us all---DEMOCRACY!!

This winner takes all is what has given us McCain,thanks in large part to Cross-over "Independents/Democrats", not Republicans. Well you Ind/Dem's wanted him so take him.

As for me and my house of life long Republicans, we will WRITE A NAME IN come November. Good luck Grand OLD Party, hope you enjoy your party, even though it has already been crashed!
