lemon meringue, we are being NICE in free your mind.
not everyone is from the united states. and i wouldn't punish people outside of the u.s by teaching them about the electoral college.
now, zoomerang. to answer the original question
uhh...american kind of democracy. i can't remember exactly why the electoral college was introduced, i'll look into that for you. i'm not sure if you're familiar with the electoral college (though my guess is that you are) but basically, the states with more people in it have more sway, so the states like ooo i dunno...south dakota get the royal shaft in being represented ('cept now cos senator daschle is majority leader).
in the present time the electoral college makes no sense, and hopefully we will get rid of it before the next debaucle of an election.

Why are you still asking this question after all this time? Wasn't our Electorial College system ever explained to you? Sarcasm perhaps?

btw, what kind of a democrazy allows someone into office when a different candidate had more votes?
