Delegates are chosen by state party organizations. The methods vary from state to state, and between the two parties. In primary states, candidates file delegate slates with their petitions of candidacy for the nomination. These delegates are usually people of some reputation in the party, who have declared their support for the candidate. After the primary election is held, some of each candidate's slated delegate picks are named delegates, in some proportion to the votes received by each candidate, either statewide or sometimes in each Congressional district. In caucus states, members of the party meet in each local area, and select delegates to county meetings, which then select delegates to a state meeting, which selects the delegates to the national convention. There are usually rules for sharing the delegates at each level. Each candidate's campaign organization names prospective delegates. Some states have both caucus and primary selection. Since 1984, the Democratic party has seated a number of "superdelegates" to its national convention - these being the party's senior organizational officers and elected officials that are Democrats. As of 2008, this group included all Democrat U.S. Representatives and Senators, Governors, members of the Democratic National Committee, former Presidents and Vice Presidents, and some others. About 20% of all votes at the convention were superdelegates.

James Madison and George Washington were both delegates to this convention.
You have to be nominated by the Chairman of the National Party. You have to be a prominent individual of your state/community, or a at least semi-important politician. i.e. Governors, Senators, State-politicians etc.
Did Fredrick Douglass become Vice President
1928 June 15. The Republican national convention which nominated Charles Curtis took place in 1928 from June 12 to 15. Hoover was nominated as President on June 14, 11:20 PM.
For many years, the national convention nominated the candidates for President and Vice President. They also wrote a platform and elected the officers of the national organization. Recently, the presidential nomination have been decided by primary election before the convention and the presidential nominee has been allowed to name the candidate for Vice President. Therefore, the national convention has become mostly a political rally to kick off the presidential campaign. They do still have a platform, but it is rarely of importance to the campaign and rarely folllowed by the new President.

The major political parties do not directly select the candidate, instead the voters are requesting delegates to represent their vote when they attend the national party convention." See link . =)
