Sebby was saying that the good thing about the Electoral College is that it somehow prevents democratic fiscal irresponsibility. I was pointing out that the track record is clear that Democratic Presidents have been more fiscally responsible, so that if Sebby really cared about that sort of thing, he'd have a problem with the Electoral College.
I was not denying the existence of Newt Gingrich, though wouldn't that be nice. If you posit a Newt Gingrich, you should always vote for a Democratic President, because that sort of a Republican Congressman will go for wanton and reckless budgets under a Republican President.
