Nuxoll: Let’s Drop It

In response to Betsy Russell's column re: her far-fetched scheme to block a second term by President Barack Obama, state Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, comments:

"I floated an idea out there on November 19 about the electoral college. Our country is a country of opportunity to discuss ideas and effect progress and change. I believe in less government, more opportunity and I will fight for that motto because of my love for this state and country and our exceptionalism. But there is no upside to division in our country now since we are all in this together. Some have rejected the idea, so lets drop it and continue on. To villify me because you don't like the idea is unnecessary."

Question: Any last thoughts before we "drop it"?
