I'm a Political Science/History kind of guy, and so is my class.
Yeah I didn't mean anything by it, I was just having a little fun with you. I was just going to say "That's racist," but I felt that was too simple of a reply so I added the other thing.
But yeah, we get assignments on all sorts of votes. Our last paper was on the Electoral College votes, for instance, and a prediction of who will be President (that was hard, :D) so, yeah.

It's because they're a group of superhumans kept alive in nutritional slime.  Taft won because he gave them better slime.  They're easy to manipulate that way.

Hey, at least most voting machines are electronic.

Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia will decide the election, basically.

Actually the electronic ones are just as bad (although that simpsons skit was funny as hell about it XD )
Again, this is why the elctoral college fails. Why should three or four states basically determine an election? Not saying the other votes don't matter but it puts greater importance on those votes. Also, it essentially wastes votes for the party not winning the state...

Florida should be one of those too.

Kind of, but not as much as those three states.

Missouri is probably the most important of those three.

Can't vote; not old enough.
There was a mock election in school, done online.
Obama won in all 4 grades in my school, my school overall, the state, and the national mock election.
All of McCain's percentages were around 20something, and all of Obama's percentages were around 70something.
Kyou no Wanko is the best news segment ever!
Look, it's DS-tan!
