Why is the American electoral system so divisive? For example, why does the Presidential candidate get to choose his Vice-President? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Presidential runner-up to get that job? After all, after the President-elect, the other guy was the next most popular...

I don't have an article to go with this but I think it's common knowledge that American automobile companies are looking for a bailout from the US government, similar to that given to the failed financial institutions. I don't understand this. I didn't approve of the financial bailout but I...
