<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1175007, member: 17919&quot;]The voters have to choose a package deal, and they basically only get two choices. Also, voters don&#039;t vote directly for President-- their respective states send delegates called electors to cast the final vote for President. That is one reason why the man who got fewer popular votes than his opponent ended up in the White House in 1876, 1888, and 2000.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I learned how to drive in the middle of the first Energy Crisis in 1973, and I was paying close attention to energy issues in the 1970s. I was impressed with Carter&#039;s energy package. But Carter was defeated in the next election, not because of his energy package, but mainly because of Iran and inflation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
