1549 Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 Kerry Dean Clark Edwards Clark and Edwards are by FAR my favirotes, but the polls didn't cast a good image. Honestly I just want to see a split party going into Boston so candidates have to wheel and deal for delegates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 New hampshire is very important. Sadly, everyone takes it for granite. I was thought it was more of a Limestone State Seriously though, What makes a state with only 4 electoral votes so important? You need 270 to be president.... Someone please convince me why NH's opinion matters so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 were talking delegates, not electoral votes. Come back after you have studied the election process! sure but why should a state with such a small population base be such a coveted win in February? The process that elects a Delegate is so Bass-ackwards. It over values those small states that vote in primaries first, essentially silencing any voice that the larger, more important states come November, have in the selection process.

The process that elects a Delegate is so Bass-ackwards. It over values those small states that vote in primaries first, essentially silencing any voice that the larger, more important states come November, have in the selection process. In the primary elections all you need is more delegates than your competitors so every bit helps, and the bit is more significant than the electoral system. It is also important because when a candidate wins a state it gives him a huge thrust in the next state. Kerry wasn't doing exceptionaly well in NH until he won in Iowa. As far as why the Electoral system is still in place is to help people in small states still feel important. the 2000 election was decided by like 6 electoral votes, so the small states were important. If candidates were elected based on popular vote noone would campaign between Texas and California, so states like the Dakotas, Kansas, Iowa, etc. would be totally left out.
