The democracy gives voters a choice among candidates.

I believe it was John C. Brekinridge.
In the electoral process, a caucus is a meeting where voters openly show support for a candidate, while a primary is a state-run election where voters cast secret ballots for their preferred candidate. Caucuses tend to involve more discussion and debate among voters, while primaries are more straightforward and similar to general elections.
On current poll averages, Ron Paul is the first choice candidate among 13% of republicans.
The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primary election in the USA. In a blanket primary voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines; for instance, a voter might select a Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party's nominee. It differs from the open primary - in open primaries voters may pick candidates regardless of their own party registration, but may only choose among candidates from a single party of the voter's choice.
In a primary election, registered members of a political party select their preferred candidate to represent the party in the general election. This process allows voters to express their choice among candidates who have declared their intention to run for office within the party. The candidate who receives the most votes typically becomes the party's nominee for the upcoming election. Primaries can be open or closed, depending on whether non-party members are allowed to participate.
When no candidate wins a majority of votes in a primary election, the selection process often involves a runoff election where the top candidates face off, allowing voters to choose between them. Alternatively, some states use a proportional allocation of delegates based on the percentage of votes each candidate received, which can lead to a convention where party leaders and delegates make the final decision. Additionally, certain parties may have specific rules that govern how to resolve such situations, including negotiations or endorsements among candidates.
More than one candidate allows a more open spectrum of ideas and values to be employed. For example the Republican and Democratic party, one is conservative and the other liberal with respects to each other. If there were only the one party, one set of ideas would be represented and then you would have a monarchy.
In eight states, if a candidate does not receive a majority in the primary election, a runoff election is typically held between the top candidates. This ensures that the eventual nominee has broader support among voters. The specific rules and procedures can vary by state and party, but the goal is to determine a clear winner.
When a general election candidate is suspended just before a UK election, their party typically replaces them with another candidate if time permits. The suspended candidate may still appear on the ballot unless they formally withdraw. This situation can lead to confusion among voters and may impact the party's overall campaign strategy and public perception. Ultimately, the party must manage the fallout and communicate effectively to maintain voter support.
It means you are popular among people, or voters.
