But in the end, does it matter as much nowadays, when we have TV and the
internet, so that a candidate can go anywhere without actually going
anywhere? I don't thinkk actually travelling is the problem. I think it's
catering to the needs of South Dakota as thoroughly as one does to the
needs of New York. And I really don't know that the electoral college is
the ultimate solution to that problem.
