He was nominated for the Democratic ticket at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
DemocratMr. Obama has always been a member of the Democratic party.
In the 2008 election, Mr. Obama first ran against Hillary Clinton to get the Democratic party's nomination for president. He then ran against the Republican party's nominee, John McCain, and defeated him.
A Democracy is where the government is headed by the leader in a political party (Barack Obama, democratic party) and citizens have equal say in how the government is run.
Barack Obama is a Democrat. By some accounts, his maternal grandparents, who raised him, were moderate Republicans, but he has always identified as a member of the Democratic party since his first run for office in 1996.
it is criticised by me today April 27th 2009 as at the moment there is no democratic process as Gordon brown was not elected to A run the labour party or B run the country ! tony Blair was elected to run the country and ran for and won the party membership race ..... these 2 facts lead me to belive Gordon brown should not be the leader of the country as he has not been elected in a democratic way ...... this would be known as a dictatorship in other countries !
First, the word Democratic (with a capital D) is an adjective, meaning it must describe a noun: he is a member of the Democratic party. If you want the noun version of the word, Barack Obama is a Democrat.
Yes. He was born in the US. Next question.
He decided to run for president, after having served in the U.S. Senate. First, he won the Democratic nomination, and then, he defeated his Republican opponent, John McCain. Mr. Obama was elected president in 2008.
They are both running for the nomination of the Democratic party. The winning nominee will face Republican candidate John McCain in the election.
He or she would have to start by entering primaries and competing at caucuses and then finally win the nomination of the party at its convention.
since a democrat was just elected a republican only can try to run against obama in 2012 if obama wins that race then it will got to 2016 so both parties run that's only if obama wins his party's nomination. we cannot predict the political climate 2 years from now. obama could decide to not run again. the democrats could be heavily divided or not in favor of their poster child anymore and someone could run against him in the primary and win the party's nomination.
There is no more of the Democratic party in Australia anymore because they got run out. Now they are called the Greens.
