The Electoral College is a time-bomb which, if not defused, could one day push America toward an abyss.
Let us assume that Obama wins the general election, and some of the Electoral College are latent racists and stage a conspiracy to deny him a chance for the Presidency and vote against him. Considering some of the slogans that have been heard against him ("Kill him," "nigger,' "terrorists."), such a constitutional coup does not look far -fetched. In their bigoted minds , these electors would be helping America, and they would find many technical reasons for this aberrant behavior.
The idea of keeping a potentially devious intermediary between the people and the corridors of power is undemocratic and potentially dangerous.
