Reflections on Elections

Linked above is a pretty neat article, written by commentator Joseph Sobran, about the problems with democracy, which are ever more apparent with each passing election.

The past two election cycles have indicated just how the institutions of the Republic have been gutted. Kerry's quick concession will have one benefit: the Electoral College will survive for at least one more election cycle. But I wonder just how much longer an institution that is perceived to be elitist and anti-egalitarian can survive?
