FOOTBALL & THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Watched some football on the television this afternoon.  As I watched it occurred to me that football scores are much like the Electoral College results.  Or, the Electoral College results are much like football scores.  If a football team gains 289 yards, but no touchdowns, and the other team gains 185 yards, but scores two touchdowns, who wins the game?

So it is with the Electoral College.  It doesn’t matter how many votes you get.  What matters is how many states you get.  I wonder if the Democrats understand this?
