We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

Nepal - occupying only 0.1% of the earth - is home to:
Population: 23 Million people live in Nepal.
Climate: Nepal has four major seasons, namely, (1) Winter: December-February, (2) Spring: March-May, (3) Summer : June-August, (4) Autumn : September-November. Nepal can be visited the whole year round.
Main Language(s): Nepali is the national language. However travel-trade people understand and speak English as well.
Few destinations in the world can match Nepal in the variety of adventure tourism: be it mountaineering, trekking, mountain biking, nature tours, culture tours, pilgrim tours, white-water-rafting, kayaking, canoeing, mountain flights, hot air ballooning, pony trekking, jungle safaris, bird watching, fishing, hang-gliding, ultra-light aircraft ride, etc. In addition, we have several special interest tours like orchid tours, culture trek, honey hunting, village tours, fossil hunting, meditation courses and seminars, Shamanism-Panimism tour, cave culture, snow leopard and blue sheep trek and many more that take place throughout the year.
Trekking: Nepal is the ultimate destination for the trekking enthusiast - offering a myriad of possibilities from the short and easy to the demanding challenges of the snowy peaks. Easy, moderate or rigorous - there is something for every palate. Nepal has aptly been called "A Trekkers' Paradise" as her terrain - mountains, hills and the Terai - offers some of the most spectacular trekking routes in the world. The immense contrasts in altitudes and climates found here support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyles, vegetation and wildlife. Trekking in Nepal is as much a cultural experience as a Himalayan adventure. In the shadows and foothills of the icy pinnacles of the Himalaya, one passes picturesque charming villages inhabited by diverse ethnic groups. Treks vary from expeditions, high altitude treks to simple easy paced walks.
Mountaineering: With eight of the highest peaks in the world, it is hardly surprising that Nepal has been the stage for some of the most outstanding achievements in the world of mountaineering. The dauntless icy peaks have since decades challenged the bodies and spirits of those daring enough to want to conquer the hulks. All inquiries and arrangements for expeditions have to be made well in advance at the Ministry of Tourism & Civil Aviation, Mountaineering Section, Bhrikutimandap (Tel. 256234, Fax. 227281) where the guidelines have been laid down.
River Rafting/Kayaking: Few rafting rivers in the world can match the thundering course of the rivers of Nepal originating from the snow meltdown of the Himalayan terrain. The rivers gush through the twisted canyons, winding through calm valleys where small settlements are perched on the banks, taming out only as they spill out into the Indian plains to merge with the Ganges. A river-trip is one of the best ways to explore the typical cross-section of the country's natural as well as the ethno-cultural heritage with massive doses of adrenaline buzz on our world caliber white-water thrills.
Jungle Safari: Chitwan offers exciting safari destination in the world. Jungle activities here include venturing into deep jungle on elephant back or four wheel drive to view wild animals in their natural habitat, canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks, bird watching and village tour excursions
Sight-seeing: For those who can not withstand the rigorousness of mountain climbing there are mountain flights which fly around Mt. Everest and other summits providing a close-up of the top of the world. On a clear day, the hill resorts of Nagarkot (32 km East of Kathmandu), Dhulikhel (32km) and Daman (80 km southwest of Kathmandu) afford magnificent views of Mt. Everest and the entire Himalayan range.
For the less adventurous, Pokhara, the lake city of Nepal provides ample opportunities for fishing, swimming, canoeing and boating along with majestic panoramic views in its background.
A rich cultural heritage: Nepal offers an incomparable scope to connoisseurs of art and culture to see and study the different aspects of the fine arts in its painting, sculpture, woodcarving and architecture. The three main historic cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur with numerous historical monuments, old palaces and palace squares, shrines and temples, ageless traditions and legends make it a veritable living museum. The Kathmandu Valley boasts seven World Cultural Heritage Sites all within a radius of 20 km
World Heritage Sites (Cultural):
Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Patan Durbar Square
Lumbini (Birthplace of Lord Buddha in southern Nepal)
A rich natural heritage: Thanks to Nepal's extensive and effective Parks and Reserves system, the country has managed to preserve more endangered species of flora and fauna than any other area in Asia. Nepal has nine National Parks and three Wildlife Reserves, which include areas in the highest mountains in the world as well as sub-tropical lowland of the plains.
World Heritage Sites (Natural):
Everest National Park
Royal Chitwan National Park
Other National Parks:
Royal Bardiya National Park
Langtang National Park
Shey - Phoksundo National Park
Rara National Park
Khaptad National Park
Wildlife Reserves:
Sukla Phanta Reserve
Parsa Reserve
Koshi -Tappu Reserve
Conservation Areas:
Hunting Reserve:
Here is a surprisingly wide variety of restaurants in Kathmandu, serving everything from bratwurst to pizza to sushi. Most are found in the Thamel district, while a few more upscale eateries are located in the shopping plaza known as Baba Mahal (which few people can afford to visit and which is therefore rarely crowded). Pie shops abound - most were started by cooks who formerly served in British colonial households. They used to be concentrated on a rather dirty lane called Pie Alley, but they're now found almost anywhere.
For a true Nepali meal, order dal bhat - spiced lentils and rice - often served with curried potatoes. The Tibetan momo dumpling is available in areas where many refugees have settled, notably in Bodhnath. "Buff" on a menu indicates water buffalo meat. Cows are seen as sacred to Hindus, so don't expect to find a true hamburger anywhere. A handful of restaurants, however, import beef from nearby non-Hindu countries, such as Bangladesh. The cooking of the Newari people (who are found in the Kathmandu Valley) is also popular with visitors. Try the Newari-style duck or wild boar. Outside Kathmandu, Pokhara, jungle lodges and organized treks, there is a very limited choice of food. Try chang at your own risk: The home-brewed alcoholic beverage has been known to upset the stomach of many a trekker.
Be aware that because of sanitation standards, it's very easy to get very sick on very appealing food. We urge you to do your experimenting after your trek, or you may not get to go.
Nepal has two different cuisines – Nepali food and Newari food. One cuisine belongs to the Newars who were the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. They still live there today. Nepali food belongs to the majority of the country and even though Nepal is quite small in relation to the rest of Asia, there can be some very noticeable differences between both foods.
Nepali food can be quite bland with soup, rice and vegetables featuring in a lot of the main courses. As many Nepalese are vegetarians, meat doesn't feature frequently. The main dish is called 'Daal Bhaat Tarkaari' which consists of lentil soup, rice and curried vegetables.
Newari food on the other hand is a bit more eventful for your taste buds with spices and meat which is taken from buffalos. That means you can have buffalo soup, buffalo steak, buffalo meatballs, buffalo mince - it is very popular. Their main dish is called 'Momo' (momocha) which is made of meat-filled steamed dumplings.
Tipping: In Kathmandu and Pokhara restaurants only, tip 10% (if a service charge is not already on the bill). If you go trekking, tip porters and guides (consult with the trek organizer for the proper amount).
Mata Tirtha Snan (Mother's Day)
This is one of the widely celebrated festivals that falls on the first month, Baisakh (April/May), of the Nepali Year.It is also called Mata Tirtha Aunsi as it falls on a new moon night.

The festival of "Gai Jatra" (the procession of cows) which is one of the most popular festivals, is generally celebrated in the Nepalese month of Bhadra (August-September).This festival has its roots in the belief that the god of death, Yamaraj, must be feared and hence worshipped.
Shree Krishna Janmastami
Sri Krishna Janmastami marks the celebration of the birth of Lord Sri Krishna. This festival is also known as Krishna Jayanti or Janmashtami. Lord Krishna is regarded as the 8th avatar or 'incarnation' of Lord Vishnu.It falls on Saptami of Bhadra (August/September).

"Teej" is the fasting festival for women. Through this religious fasting, hindu women pray for marital bliss, wellbeing of their spouse and children and purification of their own body and soul. It takes place on Tritiya of Bhadra (August/September).
Dashain Holidays
During the month of Kartik in the Bikram Sambat calendar (late September and early October), the Nepalese people indulge in the biggest festival of the year, Dashain. Dashain is the longest and the most auspicious festival in the Nepalese annual calendar, celebrated by Nepalese of all caste and creed throughout the country. The fifteen days of celebration occurs during the bright lunar fortnight ending on the day of the full moon.
Tihar Holidays
Tihar, the festival of lights is one of the most dazzling of all Hindu festivals. In this festival we worship Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth. It heralds the month of Kartik (October/November) starting with Kukur Puja-Narak Chaturdashi.
Shree Panchami
This festival falls in mid Magh (January/February).It is celebrated as the birthday of Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning. She is the lily-white daughter of Shiva and Durga in spotless white robe and seated in a full-blown lotus.
This day is also dedicated to the martyrs of Nepal and hence celebrated as Martyr's Day.

Fagun (February/March).
Fagun Purnima (Holi)

Ghode Jatra

Shree Ram Nawami
Ram Nawami is celebrated in the mid of Chaitra (March/April) as Lord Ram's Birthday. It is celebrated with much pomp at Janaki temple in Janakpur city, which lies in southern Nepal.
Bagh Jatra
The Bagh Jatra of Pokhara is another cultural baggage brought by Newars from Kathmandu, celebrated in early august. The festival has been celebrated in Pokhara for about 150 years. It expresses the people's joy at their deliverance from a marauding tiger. On the first day, people dress up like hunters and make an appearance accompanied by musical bands. The next day is an interlude devoted to the showing of comic programs. For three days,the hunting party parades through different parts of the town before "slaying" the beast to end the festivities.
Bhairav Kumari Jatra
This is one of the major religious celebrations in Dolkha, an historic town in north-eastern Nepal (133 km from Kathmandu off the highway to Tibet). The festival falls on early August; and consists of masked dances that go on non-stop for five days. Escorted by musical bands, dancers representing the deities Bhairav and Kumari and other gods and goddesses swirl and sway through Dolkha, visiting its many temples. On the occasion, devotees also undergo fasting and worship Bhairav and Kumari. The ceremony has a history going back more than five centuries.
Chaite Dasain
Chaite Dasain used to be the original day of the grand Dasain festival (which takes place exactly six months later now), but because people got their stomachs upset after feasting on spicy food during the warm month of Chaitra, the grand celebration was shifted to the cooler season. But the religious fervor is still evident in the celebrations of the day.
Gaura Parva
Gaura Parva is another celebration honoring Lord Krishna's birthday. It is celebrated in far western Nepal with much gusto for two days (August/September). Apart from the many ceremonies that happen during this festival, it is the occasion for married women to put on the sacred thread. The deuda dance is a major part of the festivities in which participants hold hands and form a circle as they step to traditional music.
Gunla is a sacred month dedicated to Lord Buddha. This festival commemorates the auspicious "rains retreat" when the Buddha, over 2,500 years ago, led his close disciples into solitary meditation and preached to them the essence of his principles.
Guru Purnima
Teachers come second (after the gods) in the Hindu hierarchy of respect. The full moon day of the month June/July is set aside for students to pay homage to their teachers and receive blessings from them in return. At a place called Vyas on the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway, special worship is performed to Maharishi Vyas, the saint who wrote the great Hindu epic, Mahabharat. For Buddhists, the occasion (Dilla Punhi) is sacred as the day when the Buddha-to-be entered the womb of Queen Mayadevi. Religious functions are held at monasteries and temples to commemorate the event.
Lhosar is the Tibetan New Year which falls on February/March. This festival is mast impressively observed by all the Tibetan-speaking populations. They organize folk songs and dances on this occasion. These dances can be seen in Khumbu, Helambu and other northern regions of Nepal and also at Boudhanath in Kathmandu.
Rato Macchendranath Jatra
(Begins on the full moon day of Baisakh)This is the longest as well as the most important festival of Patan. It begins with several days of ceremonies and the fabrication of a wooden-wheeled chariot at Pulchowk, near the Ashoka Stupa.
Mani Rimdu
(Full moon of the 9th Tibetan month) Mani Rimdu is the biggest event of the year for the Sherpas of the Khumbu region. Sherpas from the Khumbu region congregate at Thyangboche Gompa, the picturesque monastery situated on a spur at 3,870 meters from where both Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam can be seen.
Celebrated in mid-August Mata-yaa is one of Patan's popular festivals. It consists of a day-long procession of devotees going around the Buddhist courtyards of the town and offering worship at the shrines there. Carrying lighted tapers and joss sticks in their hands, Mata-yaa participants rush in a meandering file and visit the hundreds of Buddhist sites scattered all over Patan. They toss rice grains, flowers and coins at the shrines as they pass by. Some devotees wear elaborate and amusing costumes. Musicians also take part in the parade.
Neel Barahi Pyakhan
Neel Barahi Pyakhan is a sacred masked dance which is shown over four days(August/September)in different parts of Bode. Nineteen persons representing the town's guardian pantheon take part in the dance performance. Music is provided by a 27-piece traditional orchestra. The ceremony invokes peace and harmony, and is dedicated to the deity Neel Barahi whose temple is located in a jungle outside Bode. Bode adjoins Thimi which is 8 km east of Kathmandu.
Rath Yatra
Biratnagar in south-eastern Nepal brings out a spectacular chariot procession to mark Lord Krishna's birthday (August/September). The parade sets out from the Radha Krishna temple and goes around the town. The six-meter tall chariot carries the images of Krishna and his consort Radha and is drawn by hordes of devotees. The annual chariot festival was started in 1932 to commemorate the building of a temple dedicated to Krishna.
Sita Vivaha Panchami
This festival, commemorating the marriage of Sita to Ram, is particularly celebrated in Janakpur. Each year in Janakpur, idols of Ram and sita are brought out in bright processions and their Hindu wedding ceremony is enacted.
Tamu Dhee
Tamu Dhee (also known as Trahonte) is a Gurung holiday (august). Ceremonies are performed to purge the neighborhood of evil spirits and to safeguard one's farm and farm animals from hostile elements. The festival can be observed in Pokhara. Groups of people beating on different kinds of drums form a colorful procession and make house-to-house visits. Participants with their faces smeared with soot and wearing feather headdresses parade through the town to drive away negative influences and ensure peace and security.
Tansen Jatra
The hilltop town of Tansen in central Nepal exults in a week-long festive spree beginning with Janai Purnima, when Hindus change their sacred threads. The next day, Gai Jatra is marked by parading figures of cows made of bamboo and cloth. Ropai Jatra is the rice planting ceremony and participants perform plowing and planting acts on the streets. During Bagh Jatra, actors dressed up like tigers and hunters march through town. Then there are the parades. Images of Ganesh, Bhimsen and Narayan are placed on palanquins and carried around Tansen. The celebrations climax on August 12 with Bhagawati Jatra, the procession of the town's protective goddess.
Taya Macha
The Taya Macha dance is shown in different parts of Pokhara as part of the Gai Jatra observances. The five dancers, four dressed up as angels and one as a clown, are accompanied by a group of traditional musicians. It is believed that the performance will bring peace to the souls of those who have passed away during the previous year. The festival has its roots in the Kathmandu Valley. It was brought to Pokhara by Newars who migrated here centuries ago.
Yomari Punhi
Yomari Punhi is one of the popular Newar festivals observed every year during the full moon of December. A yomari is a confection of rice-flour (from the new harvest)dough shaped like fig and filled with brown cane sugar and sesame seeds, which is then steamed.

Right, Julia and I going to try to organise the first ever South African Discworld Event - SADWE 2011
Current suggested location and date is Cape Town, Saturday 10th September, probably early evening
We're open to suggestions for a hotel - one that has a good bar and sells food
I'll run a Discworld themed quiz, for which there will be prizes, and I'm always happy to talk about anything DW related
I will ask Rob and Terry if they can talk to us on Skype as well, and see if we can arrange a reading from Snuff, Terry's next book
Terry does want to visit South Africa, so this would also be a good time to talk about a full South African Convention - where and when to hold it, put together a preliminary committee, that sort of thing
So, please can you all publicise this to any South Africans you know (I don't think there are any on this board) and feel free to post this on any other DW or TP boards out there

This has got to be the most creative preview/marketing ploy for a movie I've ever seen. The first half is D'Sousa bantering with Obama, and it's pretty darn funny. The banter leads into a preview for his new movie coming out soon, "America."
After seeing this I think I'm going to have to make sure see it. If "2016" is any indicator "America" will be pretty darn good too.Add a comment

Such a pleasure to use your services - easy breezy! Flowers were beautiful and delivered promptly. The picture received of the arrangement is a very, very nice touch. Thank you!

The flowers were beautiful at a great price and delivered on time BUT the card was missing so my friend did not know who they were from unfortunately.
Wayne Kasbey - 05/11/15
Verified Purchase - 20 Multicolour Tulips
This last experience was great. I had bumbled the delivery date and within a few short minutes through the online chat was corrected. Delivery has always been as scheduled and greatly appreciated. There was however one occurrence when the flowers that appeared at my Mother's door were unsatisfactory I was told. But I was also told that they were replaced immediately and that is what will keep me coming back. TKS

Verified Purchase - Brighten Your Day
The order process went smoothly, and all fulfillment activities were completed without a hitch. This could not have been a more professionally handled online purchase. Thank you!
Angela Namoi - 05/22/15
Verified Purchase - Smiles and Sunshine
This would be Five stars except that at the start I couldn't place my order because I had put in all details as a new visitor. Right at the end I was told I had used the site before and needed to go back and re-do my order as a returning visitor. This irritated me so much I immediately left the site. (At this point my rating is 1 star). However, I phoned (from Sydney) to ensure my aunt received her flowers. The rest of the service was 5 star - and I especially loved receiving an email with a photo of the flowers that my aunt received. That was a touch I very much appreciated. So yes, I will use you again but please don't expect me to remember my password. We use thousands of websites and this is simply unrealistic. The feeling it leaves is that you want to 'market me' rather than 'serve me'. It's not a good feeling and I for one simply exit websites that make me feel that way. Angela, Sydney

As per Ms Parfitt arrangement was excellent & beautiful. The person that delivered the flowers was extremely pleasant and cheerful. Very clean looking. As for me it was wonderful that I got a step by step till it was delivered. Will recommend Canaflora to my friends & family. Very very satisfied.

Verified Purchase - Smiles and Sunshine
The arrangement you created for our daughter was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and it was delivered in good time.She was totally thrilled with it.I would recommend your services to everyone and I will definitely continue to use your place for all my flower needs.THANK YOU SO MUCH. Kathy

And in an exclusive interview with FightHype, Mayweather revealed that the duo want to move into the promotion of MMA fighters.
"I want to promote MMA fighters also," said Mayweather. "We looking to promote MMA fighters, so it's the first time you're hearing it on FightHype... You know, Al Haymon is looking to manage MMA fighters. Even though Al Haymon hasn't came on record and said it, but I want Al to manage MMA fighters. I think I can take it to the next level... You know, I don't mind doing business with Dana White. Dana White's a cool guy. I've been knowing Dana before he got involved with the MMA."
A former Economics student at Harvard, Haymon started in music promoting M. C. Hammer, New Edition, Whitney Houston and Mary J. Blige, among others. In 2010 he moved into boxing, and now has a large group of fighters under his management. The addition of the pair to the MMA world could be significant.

That was from my first trip to Tucson and I don't sweat quite that much nowadays - but it's interesting climbing in desert conditions and it takes a while to get used to it.
Ben Cruachan looks amazing! I'd love to go hiking up there someday. I spent some time in the Shetland Islands last year but didn't get to do mack climbing on rocks there. It's an amazingly beautiful place, but rather like hiking over a giant sponge.

The finale for this year's Lucerne Festival in Summer couldn't be more colourful. Gustavo Dudamel and the Vienna Philharmonic will frame their concluding concert with the sound of drums. Rossini's fizzy Overture to "The Thieving Magpie" begins with a snare drum solo, while Ravel's famous "Boléro" is based on a metrical pattern played unrelentingly by this instrument, which builds into a flagrantly erotic wave of energy.

CRESTVIEW — With what he calls his "observation and evaluation phase" almost complete, new Police Chief Tony Taylor is preparing to implement changes he believes will make the department more responsive and prepare it for accreditation.
"It's not just going in and making a few modifications," Taylor told the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce Government Issues Committee last week. "It's making cultural changes from the ground up."
Planned changes include a new command structure to replace the current organizational chart that dates from 1997, and practically rewriting the policy manual, parts of which stem from the 1980s, Taylor said.
"The policy manual is going to be an integral part of changing the culture of the Crestview Police Department," he said.
Taylor plans to implement benchmarks for assessors from the independent Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation as they evaluate the department after it applies for accreditation, he said.
"Accreditation professionalizes the agency and makes it more respected," Taylor said. "It's a lot of work."
As a senior officer at the Fort Walton Beach Police Department, he implemented new standards and procedures leading to accreditation.
Taylor will use Fort Walton Beach's manual as a basis for Crestview's. The accreditation commission cited his guidelines as an example for other departments.
Taylor said he also wants better communications within the department, instituting an open-door policy while addressing the problem of rumors that circulate at police headquarters.
"Law enforcement agencies, as far as rumors and gossip go, are worse than hair salons," Taylor said to laughter. "I don't like rumors and gossip. Rumors and gossip have the potential to destroy the foundation of the organization and ruin its integrity. My philosophy with rumors and gossip is to hit it head-on."
Saying, "I want to get connected with the community," Taylor introduced several programs and revised policies. Among his ideas are:
Hosting an officer-instructed citizens' police academy.
"The interest I have seen generated with our officers to teach this class is phenomenal. These guys are chomping at the bits to make this connection with the community," Taylor said. "You're not going to get a gun and a badge, but you'll get a good understanding of how your police force works."
Holding "conversations with the chief" at restaurants and businesses to reach out to the community.
"Members of the community and our police officers are full of great ideas," Taylor said. "We need to listen to them and act on them."
Opening police headquarters at all hours.
"In order for us to be connected with the community, we have to be open to the community," he said. "We have officers out there 24 hours a day, but our facility is not available 24 hours a day. … You should be able to walk into the Police Department 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We want you to walk in whenever you have a concern."
Taylor said he also plans to return a revamped replacement for the disbanded Street Crimes Unit and expand community policing.
However, he cautioned that it all won't happen overnight.
"Rome wasn't built in a day. Bear with me," he said. "We're going to get these things done as quickly as we can, but we're going to do it efficiently and thoroughly."

Republicans are Seriously Considering a Plan to Rig the Electoral System
If Virginia, Ohio, Florida, and other states had gone in a different direction on November 7th, yesterday would have been the first day of President Mitt Romney's term, and Republicans would have been on the road to repealing Obamacare, approving the Keystone pipeline, sanctioning China, and implementing the Ryan plan.
As it stands, the combination of changing demographics and a good-enough economy gave President Obama a solid win, and another four years in the White House.
For some Republicans, this defeat is an opportunity to reevaluate the party's message and better appeal to key demographics like Latinos and women. Others have taken a different approach. Instead of changing their posture or reevaluating their policies, these Republicans are making a push to change the rules, so they can have their cake (win the next election) and eat it too (keep their Tea Party policies). Here's the Associated Press with more:
From Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, GOP officials who control legislatures in states that supported President Barack Obama are considering changing state laws that give the winner of a state's popular vote all of its Electoral College votes, too. Instead, these officials want Electoral College votes to be divided proportionally, a move that could transform the way the country elects its president.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus endorsed the idea this week, and other Republican leaders support it, too, suggesting that the effort may be gaining momentum. There are other signs that Republican state legislators, governors and veteran political strategists are seriously considering making the shift as the GOP looks to rebound from presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Electoral College shellacking and the demographic changes that threaten the party's long-term political prospects.
This would take the existing malapportionment of our political system—rural states have more representation relative to their populations—and amplify it by an incredible extent. A state like Pennsylvania would move from reliably Democratic to solidly Republican, since the majority of voters are packed into a small number of urban congressional districts. It's a full-scale assault on the principle of "one person, one vote."
If implemented on a large scale, this scheme would result in mass disenfranchisement, and rival Jim Crow in the number of people it (effectively) removed from the electoral process. And given the states in question—Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan—a large number of those disenfranchised would be African Americans. In Virginia, for example, Obama received more than 300,000 votes from Richmond, Norfolk, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Newport News—urban areas with large black populations.
These votes put Obama over the top and, in the current system, gave him all 13 of Virginia's electoral votes. But under the alternative scheme proposed by Republicans, Obama would win just 3 electoral votes, even as he won 51 percent of the popular vote—all because these cities (and those voters) are packed into a handful of congressional districts.
In a single move, Republicans would have diluted the voting strength of African Americans—making their overwhelming support irrelevant to Democratic chances—and tilted the field towards rural whites. And this would be true in every state where Republicans made this move.
Indeed, if you need a reason for why this probably won't happen, it's the massive political backlash that would come from rigging the electoral system to deprive nonwhites and urban dwellers of political power. Still, it tells you something important about the current Republican Party that—when it comes to winning elections—it's more interested in changing the game than changing its policies.

One of the reasons why the Electoral College has remained in effect for all of these years is because it is assumed that all of the swing states that benefit so greatly from the attention and advertising dollars, that no politician from these states would advocate eliminating it. However, if the state republicans are willing to sacrifice the attention and money that comes from these contests, then they can not logically oppose shifting to a popular vote, at least not on those grounds. This could be a unique opportunity to push for the elimination of the Electoral College. Sign the petition at:
Let's make this the first petition to hit the new threshold of 100k signatures.
