Should they count it? Will Ballots in the Envelopes Decide For Clinton or Obama?
by Milota Sidorova


Democrats seem to be up into another serious problem just before the edge of the knife & the upcoming primaries in Wyoming, Mississippi and Pennsylvania possibly shapes out steady race among Senators Clinton and Obama. Unlike their chef rival Republican John McCain gains the time to confirm his campaign, the Democratic party solves the troubled January' s delegate primaries in Florida and Michigan. According the Chairman of the Democratic National committee, Howard Dean, both of states ukase decided to move up the dates of the primaries. Earlier ballot would imply the nominations among the candidates. And it did. As Dean suggested for NBC television, they just couldn't changed the rules in the middle of the game. That was not fair, neither it didn't respect the campaigns of challengers. Although both states ran for Clinton, she has never gain the delegates. To make it clearly enough, there is almost 313 votes left. In a case of skipping the violated results in the both states Obama, who now slightly leads the position among the delegates could face later critics from Clinton's supporters about the transparency before the final nomination in August. Moreover, in such a close race, each vote matters. Dean proposed the additional counting, but stood up against the distribution of the delegates following the January's results. Translating this into the language of action, the second primaries are more than necessary. How and when? Let' s take a short overview. In the case of repeating the primaries, the additional funds have to be found. Early discussions mention more than $6 million dollars. For this moment senators just hope that the party could finance it. Trying to answer the second part of the question, the mail friendly way was proposed. Fencing, that this is an election standard for Americans traveling abroad or nursing home or everyone disabled to vote personally. One could say it is just throwing oil into the fire & moreover, who can guarantee the security of the ballots in the pending envelopes. Who could guarantee the proper counting of thousands maybe almost million votes and still avoid the duplications? While Senator Obama proposed almost Solomon' s answer, that he would follow everything, that the Democratic Party accepts, even the second primaries, the democrat supporting American citizens may just hope, that whilst they build nice sandy castles, another one gets the real one.Just like our grandmothers used to say & where the two are fighting, the third one takes it all.
