At first during the movie head of state he would read a script written for him by someone else that had what everyone wanted to hear written on it, instead of what he actually believed. This is what most presidents do (besides Reagan) because they want to get the vote of the largest croud of people, the white middle working class Americans. But Chris rock wanted to get the vote of something he knew, something he believed in. So he decided to speak his mind and collect the vote of the African American ghetto and the African American people. He became a candidate because they wanted someone who would lose the election. And he became his own candidate when his brother told him to say what he believes instead of what he's told to say. He also wanted to impress the girl from "lots O' Gas"

The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a mix between population and the pick of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states. Hamilton and the other founders believed that the electors would be able to insure that only a qualified person becomes President. I think it is fair, because it gives the smaller states more of a chance to have who they want to become president elected. And I also think that is a good idea because it has more electoral votes for the bigger states because they have more people voting. I don't think that the system has ever had any major flaws worth explaining and I think it should continue to be used.
