Candidates Split in Primary States : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites

Why do candidates want to get delegates in the American election?

From what I understand about how primaries work, people vote for the candidate they want to be nominated for election. These votes are tallied up, and whoever gets the most votes gets the delegates for that state, or the dlegates are split up based on percentages of the vote recieved. So why are delagates awarded? I thought the primaries were used as a kind of poll, so that the person people want as president for that party has the most support. From what I understand, these delegates then vote for the candidate they support or something? And whats the difference between a regular delegate and a superdelegate? I just want to understand how this voting system works.
Answer: Just like the presidential elections, it is the delegates who decide the nominee not the actual votes cast. Delegates are awarded based on the share of the vote cast in a proportional manner. If it was based on national votes cast then you'd have a situation where smaller states would be ignored and only the primaries in CA, TX, OH, NY and FL would be contested.

According to MIRS, the committee voted 4-2 to give Romney Michigans two at-large delegates.

How does the Primary work?

I am a Canadian trying to understand your primary system. So my question is. Do the candidates split the delegates for each party in a state? For example Mcain won New Hampshire and Romney came in second. Does that mean that Romney still gets some of the delegates for that state? If so does that mean that if Romney comes in second in every state is there still a chance he can win the nomination if enough of the other candidates split winning the states? Also what do the delegates do? After a state has given a candidate some delegates do all the delegates go to a big conference and vote again? That might seem stupid to you but really a lot of countries do it like this. Oh this question might sound pro Romney but I am Canadian and really dont care who wins. I cant vote so I dont care.
Answer: No who ever comes in first gets all the pionts but their are to winners, 1 for republican and 1 from democrat. Then the delegate from each side with the most points at the end go to the actual vote where everyone votes for the pres. and whoever gets the most points/votes wins presidency.

Hillary as an independent?

It is an anti-Republican year because of George Bush, people want a change. The Democratic party is split, Hillary voters will not vote for Obama. A lot of Republicans dont like McCain, it is a perfect time for a third party candidate. She has 18 million votes. Subtract: Guam and Puerto Rico Add: votes from caucus states Add: votes from closed primary states Add: states Senator Obama won before the Rev. Wright story broke (yes it is racist but it is also true) Electoral college: She can win Arkansas, Ohio and/or Florida, possibly Michigan and Pennsylvania, and maybe New York, thats five key states she can be competitive in. Her infrastructure is in place, she has had offices open in every state. Voting blocks: she is solid with women and unions (blue collar workers) Finance: Clinton/Bloomberg 2008. He would jump at it. Down side: Obama will lose, run in 2012. Return to Senate run for re-election as independent (ala Lieberman 2006) in 2010. Downside: Run for Governor of NY in 2010 against a very weak incumbant. Tell her what you think at hillaryclinton.com. The first page is for submitting comments. The party is devided and will stay that way. That train left the station months ago. Worst case Clinton/Lieberman 2012.
Answer: She won't do that. Her best chance is to make it look like she is campaigning for Obama, but have Bill constantly bring up the bias she suffered in the primary. If Bill can somehow keep some of her core supporters angry until Nov., McCain can win. Then Hillary comes back in 2012 and coasts to the nomination, saying "I told you so (about Obama)!" Hillary's problem was that she is a moderate, a centrist! Moderate, centrist Democrats win general elections, but rarely win the party primary.

Will the threat from Islamic fundamentalism be significantly reduced once George Bush is no longer president?

This week, the American public will surely be focused on Iraq, as Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker present their reports to Congress. Petraeus and Crocker will undoubtedly speak of the striking military success of the surge strategy, while Democrats will try to focus on the failure of Iraqi politicians to reach agreement on major issues. But Iraq is not the only challenge America will face in the coming years. Islamist terrorists will continue to try to attack the United States and undermine if not destroy our free society. And Americans, for all the media’s concentration on Iraq, seem aware of this — and will be keeping it in mind as they decide on how to vote next year. That’s the message you get from an interesting poll from mid-August by Public Opinion Strategies, a widely respected Republican firm, conducted for the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Unlike most polls, it doesn’t include specific questions on Iraq, but rather focuses on the wider struggle. It still shows some divisions that parallel those on Iraq. Will the United States be safer from terrorism if it confronts the countries and groups that promote terrorism or if it stays out of other countries’ affairs? Some 48 percent prefer confrontation, 44 percent staying out of other countries’ affairs. Fully 79 percent of Republicans are for confrontation, while 67 percent of Democrats are for staying out of other countries’ affairs. But you don’t see such a partisan division when the question is whether the next generation of Americans will be less safe from foreign threats than we are now. Americans agree by a 57 percent to 39 percent margin — the margin of agreement is statistically identical among Republicans (17 percent), independents (19 percent) and Democrats (18 percent). Will the threat from Islamic fundamentalism be significantly reduced once George Bush is no longer president? By a 58 percent to 35 percent margin, Americans say no. Will that threat be significantly reduced once U.S. troops leave Iraq? By a 58 percent to 37 percent margin, they say no. What we see here is quite at odds with what has been the prevailing political dialogue. When the question is approval or disapproval of the conduct of the war in Iraq, the middle segment of the electorate — independents — have joined Democrats in expressing sharp disapproval. In the Democratic presidential debates, candidates have been vying to show that they support withdrawing from Iraq (though lately some have felt obliged to concede that they wouldn’t remove all U.S. troops anytime soon). On this issue, the Democratic field is in line not only with the Democratic primary voter, but also with most of the general electorate. But when it comes to the question of protecting Americans from Islamist terrorists, the Democrats have little to say, or nothing. Democratic candidates have mentioned Islamist terrorism only briefly or, more often, not at all in their several debates. In contrast, Republican candidates in their debates have more to say on the subject. On this issue, it is the Republican candidates who are in line not only with their primary electorate but also with most voters in the general election. This helps to explain one anomaly in current polling, that while voters generically prefer a Democratic candidate, when they are presented with a choice between the two candidates now leading in the polls, Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, they are split just about evenly. The reason is that Democrats are giving voters the impression that they believe everything will be just fine in the world once Bush is back in Crawford and the troops are home from Iraq. The Public Opinion Strategies poll indicates that that is a notion a solid majority of American voters reject. They know that the Sept. 11 attacks were planned long before Bush became president and that our enemies will try to launch new attacks after he is gone. Raging against George W. Bush plays well among Democratic primary voters while Bush still has more than a year left in his presidency. The Democratic base has been in a fury against Bush since the Florida controversy in late 2000, and its appetite for denunciation of him and all his works seems never to be satisfied. But raging against Bush, and leaving the impression that you feel the threats we face will disappear when he does, could leave the Democratic presidential nominee vulnerable next fall when Bush’s presidency will be about to recede into history.

Why do so few people support conservative beliefs and philosophy?

I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people. We conservatives are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles. And thats the nature of our current debate over the nomination of Harriet Miers. Will she respect the Constitution? Will she be an originalist who will accept the limited role of the judiciary to interpret and uphold it, and leave the elected branches--we, the people--to set public policy? Given the extraordinary power the Supreme Court has seized from the representative parts of our government, this is no small matter. Roe v. Wade is a primary example of judicial activism. Regardless of ones position on abortion, seven unelected and unaccountable justices simply did not have the constitutional authority to impose their pro-abortion views on the nation. The Constitution empowers the people, through their elected representatives in Congress or the state legislatures, to make this decision. Abortion is only one of countless areas in which a mere nine lawyers in robes have imposed their personal policy preferences on the rest of us. The court has conferred due process rights on terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay and benefits on illegal immigrants. It has ruled that animated cyberspace child pornography is protected speech, but certain broadcast ads aired before elections are illegal; it has held that the Ten Commandments cant be displayed in a public building, but they can be displayed outside a public building; and the court has invented rationales to skirt the Constitution, such as using foreign law to strike down juvenile death penalty statutes in over a dozen states. For decades conservatives have considered judicial abuse a direct threat to our Constitution and our form of government. The framers didnt create a judicial oligarchy. They created a representative republic. Our opposition to judicial activism runs deep. Weve witnessed too many occasions where Republican presidents have nominated the wrong candidates to the court, and we want more assurances this time--some proof. The left, on the other hand, sees the courts as the only way to advance their big-government agenda. They cant win national elections if theyre open about their agenda. So, they seek to impose their policies by judicial fiat. Its time to call them on it. And thats what many of us had hoped and expected when the president made his nomination. Some liberal commentators mistakenly view the passionate debate among conservatives over the Miers nomination as a "crackup" on the right. They are giddy about "splits" in the conservative base of the GOP. They are predicting doom for the rest of the presidents term and gloom for Republican electoral chances in 2006. As usual, liberals dont understand conservatives and never will. The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." Its a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides. The real crackup has already occurred--on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton. The Democratic Party today i
Answer: Well, a lot of people supported them in the late 19th century, and their reward was to be ripped off by the Robber Barons and their monopolistic trusts. In the "Roaring twenties," which ended with the Great Depression, they again got what they had coming for buying into the laissez-faire scam. Then in 1980, a bunch of clueless morons elected Ronhole Raygun, because they never bothered to stay awake in history class, and so we now have the fallout from that scam. The FINAL fallout, that is. There was plenty of intermediate fallout, like the S&L scam, the Enron scam, the Worldcom scam, the Tyco scam, the Halliburton scam, the Blackwater scam, and the subprime scam. Not to mention the October Surprise scam and the Iran-Contra scam.

Should incumbents who lose the Primary concede defeat or run as an independent/write-in?

Im interested if you believe whether incumbents should concede defeat following the results of the primary. After all, the party voters have already decided that they do not want the defeated incumbent to represent them in office. Not to mention, having two like-minded candidates could split the votes of the majority, allowing a third-choice candidate to win. Or should incumbents run anyway? After all, running as an independent isnt against any law. And sometimes the incumbent may not be popular with the party, but very popular with the state/district that he/she represents. Just pick a side and argue it well. I will award the Best Answer to whomever defends his/her position best. Im just interested in what you think because several politicians who lose the primary (Lieberman, Crist, Murkowski) decide to run as an independent. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesnt. And it usually offends a lot of people.
Answer: Generally I'd prefer to see them concede defeat. If you enter a contest you implicitly agree to accept the results of the contest.

Answer: Great idea --- it actually starts making the electoral college more representative of the votes being cast. Under an all-or-nothing system, there's no difference between a 51% victory and a 99% victory. But under a pro-rata (percentage) allocated system, there is a much higher likelihood of the person being elected actually matching the overall popular result. And primaries are really nothing more than than polls among a particular group to see who that group should sponsor -- they have no more legal meaning than an endorsement by the NRA or Sierra Club. But somehow the two dominant parties have managed to get it so that taxpayers pay for their polls.
