Due to the low awareness of the largely concerned about the election and its procedure in the U.S.. I will try to bring in how an appointment. Quoting Mr.
Jędrzej Deryło:
"complicated charm
Primary are the first and fundamental element of the electoral process in the U.S. presidential election. Are now foundation for a national party convention. At the conventions of the Republican and Democratic delegates from each state party shall nominate a candidate for president, and the voices of the delegates are determined precisely by the earlier primaries. Once the two nominees are determined, held presidential elections proper.
primaries themselves are divided into two types: primaries and caucuses. Both parties give the independence of its state structures in making decisions about which type will apply. The main differences between those types of votes are to a degree of openness and directness elections. Meters higher in both of these issues have primaries, and probably for this reason they are more popular because it used in more than 80 percent. cases. They are more open, but does not mean complete freedom to participate - most of the primaries held restricts the ability to vote in the primaries to only registered party members. However, there is also a part of the primaries, where formal membership is not required - only the voters must choose whether to participate in Republican primaries, and Democrats. Depending on the state vote on either the presidential candidate, which then The State supports the representation of the national party congress, or more specifically - to elect a particular candidate for delegate, but about his popularity to decide which presidential candidate supports.
Caucuses are more complex. Begin with a meeting of party members in their constituency or district. At these meetings, conducted throughout the state, are elected representatives from each Division. Nominees from several such regions will then establish a representation of a larger circle, and elect the nominees to the next level. Such elections underway in several stages until it reaches to stage a state where representatives are elected at a national convention. Their choice and popularity in the state are of course dependent on the presidential candidate whose support. Procedure caucuses is typically from 2 to 5 levels.
Democratic Party and the Republican way of allocating different places for delegates to the national convention. Democrats in all the primaries use proportional system. Republicans also use it, but in most cases based on the principle of "voter takes it all."
immediate objective is to peel all the state primaries delegates to the national convention. Each state has its own characteristics, and therefore each is awarded a different number of delegates. The size of each team is dependent on the provisions of the party - the other for the Democrats, the other for Republicans. Generally, however, the allocation of delegates is based on primarily on specific population and the popularity of the party candidates in previous elections - presidential elections (Democrats) or both the presidential and governor and to the Congress (the Republicans). By far the most important criterion for the allocation of state in the country is California with 441 delegates Democrats and 173 Republicans in 2004, on the next shelf are located in New York, Texas and Florida (respectively 284 and 102, 232 and 138, 201 and 112). The figures shown clearly the specificities of the national convention, democratic convention is usually about 2 times larger than the Republican - the last were respectively 4,322 and 2,509 participants.
composition of delegates to the national convention election is more varied in the case of the Democratic Party than the Republican. The composition of the Republicans is the uniform - there is only one type of state delegates. And Democrats stand pledged delegates and unpledged delegates. The former are elected during the primaries and, as its name suggests (pledge - a promise, commitment), are obliged to vote for the candidate elected to a vote in their state. Unpledged delegates, however, are independent, their voice is up to their own liking. Unpledged delegates to include primarily the current democratic members of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and governors. In addition, they are presidents and vice presidents former and incumbent former Democratic Party in Congress the most important functions. This type of niezobligowanych delegates are approximately 20 percent. the entire composition of national convention election.
______________________________
As you can see - Republican delegates are not obligated during the conventions parties have free will and can change their minds, even though they are delegates of the candidate. They can vote for a candidate who in their opinion, presents the best - this is where there is a chance for Ron Paul to be nominated!
Please inform interested parties of your blog address and the principle of electing a president in the U.S., since most of society only read the major media, where he has already nominated McCain. Very hard to find there, the truth - at least in matters of sensitive ... ;).
campaign continues. Opportunities exist. We return to the game!
