Longer Than Expected

Hello all internet readers. So apparently, the race to run for the white house is still going on. I picked an article from the Washington Post called "The Race After Tuesday". The article tells us that in the end of Tuesdays tallies, it was a surprise for both the Democrats and the Republicans. For the Republican side, John McCain won most of the votes in Tuesdays election and because of the Republicans way of who gets to be the official run for office it's an easier decision. The most votes wins. But for the Democratic side, Tuesday was a day of confusion. Hillary kept at a close lead with 823 delegates and Obama was in a close second with 741 delegates. Thats only a difference of 82 delegates votes. Hillary plans on winning over the Hispanic population in California while Obama is hoping to have gained the love of the African American voters.

This article tells you what the outcome of Tuesdays votes had to say about what the American people want to see in office. Personally, I just wish there was an easier way to do this. Why couldn't all 50 states just vote at the same time and then we tally votes that way? I feel it would be a lot easier and then we would quickly find out who could be our next president.
