from small states with big influence, to the confusing eeectoral college ... for some observers, the american

presidential election process is anything but democratic. jonathan mann takes a closer lo. look. --reporter pkg-as follows -- the uuited states is one of the world's oldest democracies. but many critics say this is no way to elect a president, and here's why.the first two nominating contests are in iowa and new mpshire.a win in either state can give a candidate momentum.but there's a problem with ggving these two states so much power. they're tiny.according to the u.s. census bureau, iowa is the 30th biggest state in the u.s. by population.new hampshire?the 40th.together they make up less than one-and-a-half percent of the &pu.s. population, and yet they could decide the republican nominee for president.another criticism is the states' racial make-up.94% of iowa residents are white.new hampshire is even less diverse. more than 95% white.these states don't reflect a country where fewer than two-thirds of

citizens are white.but they still play a huge role in the process, and give the winners a boost they can use in fundraising.next issue: money. corporations are people, my friend.that's mitt romney's opinion.and the u.s. supreme court agrees.the court has ruled that corporations and unions have the right to free speech -- including the right to run ads that address issues without endorsing a particular candidate. this allowed groups known as super pacs-or political action committees-to raise and spenddlimitless amounts of money.romney has been a big beneficiary.haven't we had enough mistakes? "restore our future" is a super pac created to support romney.it spent three million in iowa to bash romney's rivals and president barack obama.this isn't just a republican tactic.mitt romney's america is not our america.priorities usa-a pro-obama super pac-raked in more than three million dollars in the same period. both groups, by law, aren't

controlled by the actual campaigns.but they arr led byy former aides ann supporters. that means a third arty would need a huge bankroll to even think about running against the democrats and republicans. including congressional races, one analyst believes eight- billion dollars could be spent dollars for every man, woman and child in the country. after all is said and done, an american candidate can win more votes than his or her opponent& and still lose.it happened most recently in 2000, when al gore lost to george w. bush-despite winning half-a-million more votes.gore can blame the electoral college for that loss.the system designed by the founding fathersscreates a winner-take-all race in each of the 50 states.then those states cast votes for president, regardless of the overall reeult.states thht tilt heavily to one party or the other, where a candidate

knows they will win or lose, can be saaely ignored during campaigning.a handful of swing states-like hio and florida-will decide the election.carry those two, and a candidate can start picking out the drapes in the oval office.jonthan mann, cnn, atlanta.-----end----- cnn.script----- coming up next in sports. sports.the play that had many jaws dropping!!how tim tebow helped sack the steelers.
