You have it correct, that the citizens have no right to vote for President.
Our forefathers in their infinite wisdom realized that a significant portion of the population were ignorant, and thus their voting for a President
could be manipulated to the detriment of the nation.
A recent poll showed that the bulk of Obama voters, taken post-polling, didn't know who the Vice President was, who Nancy Pelosi was, who Harry Reid
was, not which party controlled Congress.
We may have a Constitutional problem, but we have a stupidity problem in this country far worse. Voting by race, slick talking ability, and a good
presentation. No idea of the political process, the most basic knowledge of politics, nor the effects of their votes. Couldn't tell you the first
thing he's accomplished, how he was elected to his first State office --NOTHING!
Thus, the wisdom of our forefathers, and the electoral college.
As far as buttoning down the hatches, you'll note that when the natives go on the warpath, they usually burn and destroy their own neighborhoods
first. It's a real bright group. Reckless, a bit dangerous to be sure, but about five beers short of a six-pack.
Man, this will be interesting to watch.
There's hope for America yet.
