  1. I have finished reading this debate, and I must say that it is very interesting. Well, in case you people do not know me, allow me to introduce myself, I am Víctor, and I live in Puerto Rico, which although it is a separate country from the U.S. it is a territorry of the U.S. since the day the United States took it from Spain as a war booty in the Hispano American war of 1898. So, as you can imagine I have to worry, about American affairs just as much as Americans themselves. Well, on to my comments on this. I believe that Bush may (unfortunately) win the election, unless the war gets worsening quickly enough, in which case Bush will lose. If he wins, I would congratulate him, for being elected by his people, instead of electoral votes. If he wins, also I dare say he will end up like LBJ did with Vietnam, his political reputation in shambles. As for the electoral vote, I have heard the arguments on how and why it was created many times, and I agree that they are right on the idea of giving small states more representation. But when I see that the bad side of it is that there are times that the guy may get to be the President without the people electing him, then I have to say "To hell with small state representation", because having such things then are to me, and to just about anybody learned in politics in Latin America as un-democratic. Oh, by the way, my apologies if my way of writing is funny, English is not my first language. My first language is Spanish. Víctor
