you have many people running to be Kerry nominees, Edwards, etc....you must choose from them as there are more delegates than spots to go to Boston..

Second, the Party is trying to enforce proper propotionality between the genders...many parties do this, for example, the SPD and Greens in Germany, the Labour Party in the UK, all have requirements that certain groups get the proportional representation at the convention or on the ticket....they also have regional consideration that are written into the law....

As your ballot says....4/3 female/male balance accurately reflects the proportion of gender in this country...
