Why do we vote for the President?

Our government is still of the people, by the people, and for the people. (Well at least when it benefits the politician) The electoral college is supposed to listen to what the people say, but look at it this way. If a bunch of people walk into their polling place with no sense of who they are voting for, and who the candidate is or anything, and they vote for that person even if they would be a disaster, the electoral college will make the decision that is best for the country based on the people's voice and vote. Does it always work out like it should? Well I think the 2000 election is a good example of the flop that we experienced from the electoral college.
