In short, he finds it obnoxious (as I do) that many states and worse the biggest population centers and entire regions are overlooked because they're not swing states, and people know how that state will vote.
California and New York go Democrat. Philadelphia controls Pennsylvania. Texas has tended to go Republican lately. And so politicians campaign in Cleveland, or Charlotte, or wherever people live in West Virginia and Florida.
I like the idea of a six-year term.
I like the idea of instant runoff voting.
I even like the idea of baseline standards.
BTW, don't miss the comments. They're good as well.

I think that for my birthday (March 23, so plenty of notice! ) I'd like to get a QuadCopter to pair with my GoPro HERO3. Oh the things I can imagine doing with this combination…
Is there some place with this stuff pre-built? Or some place that details the basic options? Maybe even has stuff that doesn't cost a mortgage payment?!
Hmmm. $1799 on Black Friday, normally $2399. I'm not listing that to buy it (Carey), just to remind myself the good ones are pretty expensive and thus this birthday wish will likely go unfulfilled.
P.S. The more I look into all of this, the more I've talked myself out of it. And by typing that, now, I think I'm just about done.
