Re: Why Pursue Direct Presidential Election?
You're right to be concerned about our ability to fully pursue several issues at once - we're always checking our capacity and don't want to be jumping into something without the resources to do it well.
As for state' rights and power, I am not sure the electoral college matters so much in that regard. The US Senate is certainly a more tangible center of power for states to assert their influence. Direct election is giving power (vote) to people - if they vote for a president who will trample on states rights, then who's to argue? But I doubt that would be the outcome.
