Why
Why does the media always give the percentage of Americans that support a certain PRESIDENTIAL candidate? Gore easily won that stupid poll, and it made zero difference.

meida is bias scuds they went to portray things to the public for their own concerns instead of just giving facts out
ex in 2000 - cbs was the network that declared gore a winner in florida while the polls were still open in those 2 counties in western florida that are heavy republican , how could a mistake like this happen you ask , simple the media was trying to dictate the results in that state fwiw i think Obama is a stone cold lock , i'm not for either candidate , but, it would be hard to see him losing at this point

Didn't Kerry have a similar lead over Bush at this point pre-convention? That just seems to be the pattern as I think Gore was large over Bush in 2000 early as well.

obama is 1/2 in vegas right now , now we don't bet on 1/2 shots for a reason , but, 1/2 shots win a lot of the time country wants change , in my opinion , if the dems and independents who voted in the dem primary did not want change we would have hillary vs mc cain since 1960 no dem has won the white house without carrying at least 1 southern state it looks like obama is more than alive in VA and NC this year if he can win one of those states he is very highly the next presdient of the US

You only have to look at who owns that particular media company.

I want to know who favors the electoral college, and why. When you vote for a Congressman to go to the House of Representatives in Washington, you vote by districts. The Congressman are there to look after your specific needs in your district. You vote for 2 Senators to be sent to Washington D.C. to look after your state's specific needs. These are ways that your district's unique needs(the specific area of the state you live in) and your state's unique needs are looked after.When you vote for your Congressman, they add up all the votes in the district. They don't go by which candidate had the most votes in a particular block, street, or city. They simply add up the votes from the people in the district. Everyone in the district simply votes, and is counted. Same for the 2 Senators sent to Washington D.C. They represent not districts ,but whole states, and so all the people in the state get to vote,and it's all added up. Again, it doesn't matter whether a Senator gets the most votes a particular city has. The only thing that matters is the amount of votes he or she gets from all the people in the state. The President is there to represent all Americans needs. He isn't there to look after any one particular state. So, why can't all Americans just vote for President, and then add them up? Why do we have to know which state each Presidential candidate won? It's a vote for someone who is there to represent the people of the whole country. The last time I looked, Presidents are supposed to care about all the people of a country. Why should it matter that one candidate is more popular in one state than another. The majority opinion in these groups is not what he or she is supposed to be concerned with. All the people in those groups are what he or she is there to make decisions for. Not majority views of groups. This is a massive flaw in our system of electing a President. It separates people into groups( to vote for a person who's job it is to unite these same very people.)
