This is a first so please be nice
I hope I don't sound too niave or dumb; but me and some friends were having a conversation about the Election and Sen Obama's drop in the Polls, I was using the usual talking points I learned from these sites(Thanks!) and one of my friends said: "Well you know the popular vote doesn't count only the Electorate". When asked to explain she couldn't and neither could I.....So could someone please explain it to me; Like I'm a 6 yr old.
