In my view Gore shouldn't have won either. Neither got a majority of the votes and therefore I don't think either should have won and that a runoff should occur. All I'm saying is that I really like the electoral college's way of making the race more interesting to follow and providing a more complex election. It is really fun for political junkies liek myself unlike some boring general election where you only follow one national poll instead of 51 seperate polls in the months before the election.

However, if I had a vote in Congress on a constitutional amendment I would probably reluctantly vote to abolish the electoral college. But, it would really ruin election day for me.
