The frontrunner is different in every state. I doubt Hillary will be the frontrunner in my state, even against Jeb Bush.

"Fair Vote" includes a national popular vote, so there would be only one front runner in the nation.
"Fair Vote" is nothing more than a pipe dream. Nothing like it will happen, at least for the foreseeable future. I'm in favor of keeping the Electoral College, anyway, so I have no interest in it, or anything like it.

They are thinking they could run Zombie Karl and people like vette n' co. will toe the fucking line and cheer him like the pillar of conservatism Limbaugh told him Mr.Marx is.....and they will, just like they did when they lined up to vote for liberal ass, pro choice, anti gun, pro socialized HC Romney. They all loved that guy, except when he's running. Fuck I bet they could get vette n' co to vote for him again and again and again.
Personally I think it's hysterical they got retards to vote for the liberal candidate because (R) + FOX = lock step lemming win!!
Why?
Because they don't really like freedom, democracy nor do they have any concept of modern technology's ability to provide a DIRECT democratic process....also change = bad for some reason.....but god damn are you a piece of fucking shit for trying to do something better than it was being done.
So in conclusion....because stupid.
For the same reasons the founders were in favor of it, basically. For one, I don't want to see too much control and influence going to large population centers over the rest of the country. There are several other reasons, all of which are rather obvious, if you think about it.

God save the Queen!
Really...
She's gonna need divine intervention. Senator Obama proved that.

The Founders were wrong about a lot of things and their fear of democracy tops the list.
If we have a direct vote the influence does not rest with "large population centers," it rests with individual voters, all equally regardless of where they live.
'Fraid not. That is, I can think of several such reasons but they're all really, really bad ones.
Democracy ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Until compared to every other system yet tried, to paraphrase Churchill.

It will give us a chance to see if the Kochs have as much money as we think they have.
It is because of our campaign finance system. Tends to freeze the decent ones out. You have to whore to win.

At this time he is my first choice, but that could change in Nov.
