I pledge allegiance to the flag...and to the Republic for which it stands...every day...yes, we all need to be reminded of that every now and then.
I think, though, that for all practical intents and purposes our citizenry embraces a "one person, one vote" philosophy. We ARE reminded every now and then that the "one man, one vote" concept isn't exactly accurate, and in fact can be very misleading, but for a conceptual paradigm it is a good mark for which we should aim. It bothers me to know that not all delegates are bound to vote in the manner that the citizens of their precinct did, and even more so that they can change their votes at will. That needs to be changed if we are ever to get to the point that will allow us all to buy into the election results. Winner of the popular vote ought to rule, IMHO.
Cheers!
Doug
