With the election only days away, most people have decided on who they will vote for as president. Because California has skirted most of the campaign rhetoric that most states have seen through slanted television ads, most Santa Monicans have been spared the spin coming from both President Bush and Sen. Kerry.

It’s still anybody’s race. However, with the electoral college vote system, it appears Bush might win the election, despite majorities for Kerry elsewhere This week, Q-Line wants to know, “Do you agree with the electoral college vote system? Why or why not?”

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please limit your comments to a minute or less. It might be helpful to first think about the wording of your response.
