So it is written, so let it be done!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Because books.
I actually don't think it's a bad idea. I don't think all republicans are wrongheaded crackpots with idiot opinions and I think some have important ideas and experience to offer with some policies.
Colin Powell, for example, would be great in the cabinet.
I am Kat.
Thanks, guys. Genuinely.
Although I will happily say I did not vote for McCain/Palin today.

Thinkprogress.org has a typo in their headline. It should read

I seriously think that the Traditional Old School Conservatives need to start a new party free from the Moron Majority Cultural Conservatives.
All the sane, cool conservatives deserve to have a place to hang their hat that's not covered with mud, you know?

I would laugh and laugh if he ended up being Secretary of State to the new administration after being squeezed out of Bush's. And I'd honestly be hard pressed to think of anyone more qualified for the job.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ok guys, I'm up and logged in to a half dozen or so election websites. Go ahead and elect Senator Government.

Who decides how many Electoral Votes a particular state has? And how is it decided?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
From Wikipedia:
Each state has a number of electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives in the United States Congress. Additionally, Washington, D.C. is given a number of electors equal to the number held by the "least populous" state. U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College.
[...]
The Constitution allows each state legislature to designate a method of choosing electors. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have adopted a winner-take-all popular vote rule where voters choose between statewide slates of electors pledged to vote for a specific presidential and vice presidential candidate. The candidate that wins the most votes in the state wins the support of all of that state’s electors. The two other states, Maine and Nebraska, use a tiered system where a single elector is chosen within each Congressional district and two electors are chosen by statewide popular vote. U.S. presidential elections are effectively an amalgamation of 51 separate and simultaneous elections (50 states plus the District of Columbia), rather than a single national election.
