Kitchen Cabinet points to Kaus, where I find a prattle about the electoral college (do a search for "Jorge Klor de Alva"). The observation that it is, in fact, it no state's interest for itself not to be winner-takes-all is entirely apposite, but what I find interesting here are the implicit assumptions that "the third-party problem" with it is, in fact, a bad thing, and that giving the states each two electors before accounting for population is "a major defect". (Eric will agree with his first assumption, but not his second. My brother will disagree with his second as well; I think he'll tend closer to me on the first, but I'm not sure of that.)
