ramana,
Purpose of discussion is not to take sides at this stage but how democracy is working here.
First time, I got involved in this election. Initially, I was just angry seeing what is going own, now trying to understand how campaign works.
my observation -
Voters can be bought, in civil language they call it "street money".
Media can be bought, long term promises and funding from Daddies.
Rowdies/far-left activist can disrupt election.
Voter fraud is at undeliverable level, dead and out of state people are voting.
Super delegates are voting based on contribution, like today SD Joe switched side, two things had happened; suddenly his account his showing $12,500k from Obama contribution and Chicago firm's $50K support. Nothing wrong but it shows dynamics.
Democrats go around world to monitors elections, my one advice to them, please clean up your front and backyard first.
Religious places play very important role deciding sides.
In India, caste plays big role, here race and class plays major role.
Obama is not good for India, his team is far-left and he is with thin resume.
