一段新闻中内容不明白<br /><br /><p style="line-height: 30px; text-indent: 2em; text-align: left;">Big changes could be in store for the next presidential race, if Democratic Florida Senator Bill Nelson gets his way. Nelson says presidential primaries all to be clumped(clump v丛生) into regions, which will take turns being first. It wouldn't solve this year's problems with Nelson's home state and Michigan. Both those Democratic primaries apparently won't count because they happen too early. Nelson says 6 regional primaries will give large and small states a more equal say in choosing a president.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p style="line-height: 30px; text-indent: 2em; text-align: left;">这段新闻说的是什么意思.好像懂又不是很懂,还有这里的presidential primaries是什么意思,是不是presidential election,还有这句Both those Democratic primaries apparently won't count because they happen too early我不理解,希望楼主高手们给以解释</p>

这段新闻是关于美国某次大选的，说可能会产生变故。<br /><br />presidential primaries：初选<br />primary是指竞选中的初选<br /><br />Both those Democratic primaries apparently won't count because they happen too early<br />民主党的初选显然靠不住，因为发生的太早了<br /><br />count 指望的上

整则新闻翻译过来：<br /><br />下届总统竞选可能会发生大的变化，如果佛罗里达的民主党参议员Bill Nelson顺利的话。Nelson 说总统初选需要按地区总结（？），使得他们轮流第一。单靠Nelson 的老家和密歇根是无法解决今年的问题的（意思是这两个州的选票不够）<br /><br />Nelson说六个地区的初选将在总统竞选上给予大州和小州同等的决定权。<br /><br />clump在这里不知该做何解，笨重？还是if separate objects clump together, or are clumped together, they form a group or solid mass？
