I would support Lincoln. My uncle lived in Springfield where Lincoln lived so he is a native son. I like the way he thinks and speaks- I think he is the man for the job this year. Douglas would be my second choice, but Douglas' idea of letting the new votes on whether to allow slavery did not work in the past, so I think it is time to see what Lincoln can do.
He was the republican presidential candidate in the election of 1912... A+... =)..
lead the nation into war
Congress might decide a presidential election in the case of a disputed or tied Electoral College result. If no presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives would vote to elect the president, with each state delegation having one vote. The Senate would vote to elect the vice president if no vice presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes.
The Gemini 4R model could likely be linked to the American presidential elections. Whether such a model would be useful in identifying causal relations or effects (for example, why does a certain candidate get elected? What would be the expected effect of a candidate's actions on their outcome?).
In the U.S. presidential election of 1872, Horace Greeley, the Democratic Party Presidential Nominee, died 24 days after the casting of the popular votes and 17 days before the casting of the electoral votes. If he had survived the election, based on the November election results, even with 100% of the votes from each of the states he won he would have gotten a total of only 18.7% of the votes.
Peter Cooper (b. February 12, 1791) was the candidate of the Greenback party in 1876, when he was 85 years old. Among the 2 biggest parties: * In 1984 President Ronald Reagan became the oldest US presidential candidate, when he successfully ran for re-election. He turned 73 that February. * In 1996 Senator Bob Dole became the oldest US presidential candidate to run for a first term. He turned 73 that July. * Senator John McCain is 72, and is therefore not the oldest candidate. He would however be the oldest person sworn in as a new president, if he is elected. If he serves two terms, he will be the oldest president.
Write about the things you would do and why you are the best candidate. Don't brag, but be honest about why you should be elected over everyone else that's running.
In the campaign, Eugene McCarthy. In the general election, Hubert Humphrey.
Most US elections do not offer a default to "none of the above." For a Presidential election, if by some incredible chance no one voted for either candidate on Election Day, it would go to the House of Representatives (which would also decide a tie, or if no candidate achieved a majority of electoral votes).
If we knew that there would be no point in having the election.
No candidate loses until the ballots are counted. How can you be certain that a candidate is a "losing candidate" before the election is held?
