| Hello/Intro Delegate Return to index of stories... |
What a difference a couple of days make. He said he was staying in the race for the White House on Super Tuesday but on Thursday Mitt Romney dropped out of the race. Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook. John McCain is now a clear front-runner on the Republican side but, it's a tight race between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The focus is all about the delegate count and how many each candidate has won so far. So, what's next in the presidential race? We'll talk with 3 experts on where the candidates go from here in a moment. But first, a closer look at what's at stake in the primary process: the delegates. |

PKG track: MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF HANDS THEY SHAKE. MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF BABIES THEY KISS. THE NUMBER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON -- IS THE NUMBER OF DELEGATES THEY CAN WIN. sot: ROMNEY ``We're watching the delegate count very closely and want to be able to rack 'em up.'' track: DELEGATES ARE THE PEOPLE WHO -- AT THE NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTIONS THIS SUMMER -- WILL COLLECTIVELY CHOOSE THEIR PARTY'S NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT. track: THEY'RE CHOSEN ON THE STATE LEVEL.AS THE RESULT OF VOTING IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS OR IN CAUCUSES. HELD IN THE STATE. SO FAR, THE SYSTEM SOUNDS SIMPLE ENOUGH BUT POLITICAL EXPERTS SAY -- IT'S NOT!! SOT: Christopher Arterton George Washington Univ. Graduate School of Political Management: No one really is in control of this system, unfortunately. track: THE RULES ARE SET BY POLITICAL PARTIES AND STATE GOVERNMENTS-- NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.AND THE TWO LEADING PARTIES IN THE U.S. -- REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS -- DO IT DIFFERENTLY.FOR HISTORICAL REASONS. track: TO WIN THE PARTY NOMINATION, A CANDIDATE NEEDS TO CAPTURE HALF THE PARTY'S DELEGATES. track: FOR DEMOCRATS - THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 2,025. FOR REPUBLICANS --1,191. track: HOW DO THEY DO THE MATH? track: DEMOCRATS USE A PROPORTIONAL METHOD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF TEN DELEGATES ARE BEING ELECTED. AND A CANDIDATE GETS APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE VOTE, HE OR SHE GETS 6 DELEGATES. track: REPUBLICANS LEAVE IT UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL STATES. THEY CAN USE EITHER A PROPORTIONAL METHOD.OR WINNER-TAKE-ALL: THE CANDIDATE WITH THE MOST VOTES IN A DISTRICT WINS ALL OF ITS DELEGATES. track: BOTH PARTIES HAVE SO-CALLED "PLEDGED" DELEGATES. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE FOR A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE -- BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO!! SOT: Christopher Arterton George Washington Univ. Graduate School of Political Management: And then - Sorry!! - just to make it a little more complicated, there are yet another set of delegates that are added in that are called "super delegates". track: "SUPER DELEGATES" ARE USUALLY POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS OR PARTY CHAIRMEN. AND THEY CAN VOTE PRETTY MUCH AS THEY WANT!! track: IT'S THE CANDIDATES' JOB TO WOO THEM. track: This complex system can yield some strange results: A candidate could win a majority of states.And still end up not winning as many delegates as the other candidate. track: AND THIS YEAR, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE WILL BE WON DISTRICT BY DISTRICT, DELEGATE BY DELEGATE. |
