I've been watching news lately, and whenever i open the television.. i always see the names and faces of Clinton, Obama,& McCain, always on the headline.. And i'm pretty much intrigued about the primaries thinggy. Here are some of my inquiries: 1.Why does the Democrats have to win more delegates than of the Republicans?...I guess less than 1100 for the Rep and more than 2,000 for the Dem. 2.Does it mean that if you win a state, you got all the number of delegates? or is it divided accordingly to the number of votes they won? 3.Are all the states required to vote? What if a candidate has already the number of the delegates needed to be nominated? 4.Whats the use of Super delegates? 5.Does the word "delegate" refers to an individual?.. if yes, how are they chosen?.. 6.What's the difference between a caucus and a primary? 7. My last question would be,, who's your bet? lol glad if you reply to this discussion
