The Half-Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

A group has come up with a Really Dumb Idea: split Colorado's electoral college votes proportionately! That way, a candidate can get either four or five votes from Colorado pretty much no matter what he or she does. It seems to be based on the "democratic" idea that everybody's vote should count, and I guess that sounds emotionally satisfying. However, the unanticipated side effect is that Colorado would become invisible in national elections. Neither Bush nor Kerry would (or should) even consider coming here if we pass this ridiculous proposal because we will have made ourselves irrelevant. Vote against it and keep Colorado important.
