What role does the average voter play in the presidential election? All along, I thought presidential candidates get elected by popular vote. Now I realize that candidates are nominated by delegates who may choose to vote differently from the popular vote - making the average voter a glorified spectator. So, who are these delegates and how are they elected? Isn't this system contradictory to the whole democratic process? Whoever these delegates are, can't they be bribed and prepped by candidates? It seems to me that the more "connected" candidate will win an election rather than the most popular one.
Presidential Election? I have to write this essay for my government class- over the presidential election of 1992.

Who would support having the presidential election a year early? It seems the 2008 campaign is starting earlier than usual, and we are all going to be pretty tired of it by the time of the election more than a year and a half from now. And it seems that everyone is pretty sick of George Bush and would be happy to see him out of office soon. He might be ready to hang it up himself. So let's rush through a Constitutional amendment allowing us to have a presidential election in November of 2007 instead of 2008. I think we can all agree that any of the current crop of candidates, Republican or Democrat, would be an improvement. So wouldn't we all be better off with a nice short campaign, primaries this spring, conventions this summer, and election this fall, and a new President in January '08 instead of '09? Actually, Gimpalom, George Bush received less than 50% of the popular vote in 200, by anyone's reckoning. Al Gore received more votes than George Bush. This is undisputed historical fact. Look it up. George Bush only won a majority of the votes in the electoral college.

Presidential Election!? So who has an opinion on the 2008 president? Any rumors conspiracy's plain out facts polls secret information...are you a top secret government worker and know who's secretly going to be made president? do you feel that we should have a president thats a. woman b. black c. part of a secret society? In my own personal opinion I feel that no president in our current candidates is worth being president due to current standards I want a president who believes in equal rights equal freedoms and instead of spending money on war we should be making our schools better making our streets betters...making our America better, I don't care about anything else other then. Free Health care. Limited to No Taxes. Government Caring. I believe in a country of no poverty I believe that the government should buy peoples houses, food, education, and basic military training. I believe we should work as one community no matter where we are so when it counts were 1 community as a country.

Presidential election? Do you peopel out there that the citizens of the US will choose a white woman or a black man for president (Hilary Clinton or Obama) and why?
Presidential election...? Why is it that people like Obama and Hillary? The only reason I have heard for Obama is because he is half black? And the only reason I have heard for Hillary is because she is a woman? I don't like either. And, I wanna hear real reasons and opinions. Not just because of race and gender. I say Huckabee or Mcain, but I am a republican. No offenses, I just want to know your opinion. Thanks. But a man such as Obama who is partially related to a terrorist? I can't imagine our country like that. Everything we have in our country could be gone. Just like that. He says that no one will have to pay for medical bills and all of that, and sure, it sounds nice right? But see the thing is eventually someone will have to pay for these bills, and what then? What will happen then? I may be thirteen years old, but I want you guy's opinions. It's interesting. I tend to go for republican, but I would vote for the party. NOT the person, NOT the race, and NOT the gender.

Presidential Election? I've been a Mike Huckabee fan since he announced his candidacy. Not only and I a staunch supporter of the "Fair Tax", but I really like the man himself. He's the only candidate I can really relate to, seeing as were both southern guys and he's a Baptist minister. He's straight forward, doesn't double talk, and has never flip-flopped on an issue. I believe he says what he feels, not what he thinks people want to hear. Who are you voting for in the primary... and why?
Presidential Election? Why exactly has Barack Obama received 90% of the African American vote? Isn't that kind of racist if they are only voting for him because he's black?
Presidential Election? Hello, For whom will you vote, (Obama, Clinton, Huckabee, Mc Cain, Paul ...)? Give your state Bye
Do you check "Presidential Election Campaign" box on your income tax form? Why or why not? On the IRS Form 1040 (and alternative income tax forms), near the top of the first page, there is a line that reads: "Presidential Election Campaign: Check here if you . . . want $3 to go to this fund." In the instructions for the form (p. 18), this is explained further: "This fund helps pay for Presidential election campaigns. The fund reduces candidates’ dependence on large contributions from indviduals and groups and places candidates on an equal financial footing in the general election. If you want $3 to go to this fund, check the box. If you are filing a joint return, your spouse can also have $3 go to the fund. If you check a box, your tax or refund will not change." On the one hand, I can see where this might be fair, to help level the playing field. On the other hand, I hate the idea that presidential elections depend so much on money, rather than ideas; and my tax dollars may have better uses. So which box do you check, and what's your reasoning?
US Presidential election funding compared to UK general election? A UK general election will see thousands of candidated contesting 646 seats. The parties' campaign spending is not capped nationally, but it is capped in each seat contested. In the USA presidential election, by the time it is over, each candidate's campaign will have cost 10 times a UK general election. Does this mean money matters more than policy? Where does the bottomless pit of money come from? Should UK election spending be uncapped? Could parties here be state funded to end accusations of cronyism?

Alright people, Presidential Election 2008; WHO WILL YOU BE FOR OR AGAINST? I know that if you type in "Presidential Election 2008" on the yahoo search engine and go to the Wikipedia resource, you'll get these results...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_2008 *Who will you be for or against; and no Bush is not running again, his time is up! Thank God! I'm with Hillary Clinton on this one; it's about time a woman perhapsly steps up to run for president, although there is no telling what can happen...at least she has experience. I hope for the best! ;~)
American Presidential Election? I have a question for American voters. Why are minor issues like gay marriage, or abortion such pivotal issues for some people in a presidential election? There are much more important things in your life such as...national security, terrorism, the economy, the deficit, taxes, crime, education, health care, social security, Iraq, energy, the environment, human rights, and many more issues. Why would someone who is not a doctor or health provider (or even female) make an election decision based on abortion? And why would a straight person spend so much time and effort trying to deny homosexuals equal rights? I doubt on a day-to-day basis these topics affect the average voter, so why elect the leader of the most powerful country in the world based on minor issues?
presidential election/ marijuana question? okay..i recently started dating someone who is completely in favor of legalizing marijuana...he constantly questions me saying, "well, what if someone is extremely ill, do you still feel the same way..." etc... my question is... i have been raised from a conservative/christian background...i always stayed away from marijuana...i feel that i need to have information on both sides here to take a stand...especially with the presidential election... my b/f's totally for ron paul...i side more w/ mitt romney... so does anyone else have anything to share...like, negative effects of marijuana, reasons it should not be used AT ALL or only for medical reasons...and each candidates stand on the issue??? i'm just trying to get more informed. thanks!
During a Presidential Election, why do 3rd Party Candidates always nominatee the same candidate? I notice that during a Presidential Election, that Third Party Candidates usually always nominatee the same candiate from the last election, and the candidate always gives the same acceptance speech, and they always seem confident of winning the Presidency and I was wondering, why do Third Party Candidates always nominate the same candidates when they do not have a chance of winning an election?

Can President Bush cancel the 2008 Presidential Election? Cites Constitutional Power to Protect Nation's Security What Did 'Four Years' Mean in 1789? WASHINGTON, June 21, 2008. President Bush, citing his authority as Commander in Chief of the armed forces and his inherent constitutional power over foreign affairs, today ordered a postponement of the 2008 presidential election in order "to protect the American people in our war on terror." CONTINUED BELOW In a speech during a surprise visit to Baghdad, where he celebrated the summer solstice with the troops, Mr. Bush told the nation that the election will be "rescheduled as soon as a change in leadership does not create a security threat and not a second later. When the Iraqis stand up, we'll vote." "Elections are important," the President acknowledged. "I know that. I believe in elections. I'm President because of an election, sort of. But protecting the nation from another 9/11 is more important than holding an election precisely on time."
Next Presidential Election Republican Ticket Oliver North and George W. Bush? The new presidential election is just around the corner and we need a wining team against terrorisms. The Oliver North and George W. Bush ticket will make a winning team to protect the nation and combat terrorisms. We have a very good Secretary of Defense and he is a no frills secretary of Defense. He goes with what we got on the inventory and not with what we like to have. We also need a strong Leader on the State Department Some one like Dick Chaney he knows how to deal world wide with the issues. Any comments for another Republican Ticket

I am voting for Ron Paul, because he is the only non Authoritarian running, other than maybe Huckabee. Plus he is the only non-keynesian running. Please tell me who you are voting for and why. The best answer will go to those with the best reasons.
2008 Presidential Election? There is a lot already going on with the 2008 Presidential Election. There are more issues facing this country now than any other time in our history. So who will you vote for? The problem that we continously have is that most people are "Party Voters, not Candidate Voters." Party voters will vote with a particular party no matter what. They may not agree with anything that the party's candidate has to offer, but will vote that way anyway. Candidate voters look at both nominees, no matter what color, religion, or background they come from( party voters were obvious in 04, who the hell in their right mind would vote Bush/Cheney again after the mess they've caused?) Candidate voters don't care about party affiliation. These are the smart voters. Perfect nominee: low taxes, national security, respected around the world(which we are not), healthcare for all, keep immigrants out, and keep abortion LEGAL! See, I agree somewhat with both parties. I'm an independent. Akivi and Producer vortex, both Party voters. Boy are you in for a shock next year!
Voting in 2008 Presidential Election? The 2008 Presidential Election is the first election that I am eligible to vote. Unfortunately, I'm not the most educated person in politics.

Could anyone help in any way possile? And please, don't leave rude comments, I am trying to educate myself about politics so I understand it better.
Was the 2004 Presidential Election Stolen? Most intelligent, fair-minded and objective people agree that the 2000 presidential election was stolen (with an assist from the US Supreme Court) by vote manipulation and fraud in Florida. But did the same thing happen again in 2004, this time in Ohio? 'Rolling Stone' makes a very compelling case in support of this argument, which you can check out here: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen
