Race Around!

I need to write this blog today since what I think today will prove me right or wrong tomorrow. If I don't have any opinion then it does not matter. Presendial elections: Never touched this topic until now expect that poster from Kerry. By this time all the media in the world must be jumping to tell the difference between their system and American system of elections. So must be they explaining who is doing what. Or last min attempts by both candidates. I think everyone now knows that whatever might be output at the first day, its not going to get the clear signal in very near future. They according to constitution, court can not interfear in this system more than some predefined time. This time its going to that last min when lawyers from both the sides will try to strech it as long as they can. All elections are focused on battle ground states which are still undecided. Those are Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio etc. One of them is Nevada. That's why John Kerry and Bush both visited the city near to my place. Gr8 traffic jam but not as it use to be back in india. Whatever the key issues are, Undecided voters will make the difference. Some news channel though try to be accurate and impartial they can perform that role when elections come near. For eg. now almost all channels are favoring Bush over Kerry though they are endorsing Kerry they are giving more positive news about Bush. Something which is quite unusual in india. Voting system is critiqued all over the world still people travel to see these elections. ( I guess that is cheap technique to do a USA tour). Candidates on both sides know this fact but never made an attempt to improve it. One of my colluge told me the reason behind this (from his pt). All these systems are tied to county level matters (in indian context Nagarpalika or corporation level management). Thats why somebody who moved from one place does gets an absenty ballet but sametime can register to local voting office. There is no way in hell that these county's will communicate with each other and will rectify the mistake. USA has this very well defined system of social security no which can solve this problem. Put all the controls on federal hands as these are fedral elections or create something unique to specify identity but no. That is not happening. Other gr8 difference is that you can vote anytime you want. Dont have to be election day. You can vote 3-4 days before election day and people know about their counts. People use absety ballets heavily. Pretty good orgnization this way but due to those missing facts, spoils everything. I read this good article(http://indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=57266) which tells why people of Indian origin should vote for Bush. Though I do not agree on all points, I do like some points there. I think Bush will win this elections utimately and Hillary will be next president. I am not sure if things go wrong in mid way but its what looks like. In between, saw a gr8 movie last night "Flavors" on desi americans. Reminded me some of the other things but that's later.
