What does it mean when someone states that successful candidates must run two campaigns?
There are actually two ways to answer this.
It may be meant literally, referring to the primary, where the candidate runs for the nomination of the party, and then the general, where he runs against the candidate from the other party. This meaning is mostly applicable in the United States.
It may also refer to the fact that a candidate must work hard at gaining dollars, and then at gaining votes. Even if a candidate hires a fundraiser, he still has to work very hard to do the events the fundraiser recommends, and that can be just as hard as going out for votes. And since more often than not the candidate with the most money wins, 'winning' the fundraising battle is extremely important.

How does the race for US president differ from race for class president?
Class presidential election no doubt vary from place to place, but bases on my high school when I was there here are the differences. The presidential election has two major candidates who are chosen by primaries and by their parties. Billions of dollars are at stake and millions are spent on the campaigns. There are negative ads that try to point out weaknesses in the opposing candidates. Most people vote for the candidate they think will do the most for them. About 40% do not vote at all. Both candidates concentrate on swing states that appear to be close and tend to ignore the states they think they will win and those in which they fell they have little chance. Political professionals plan the campaigns, write the ads and speeches. Class elections usually have several candidates. Nobody but the candidates and their close friends care who wins, since class officers have no power. There are no parties. Campaigns, if there are any, are short and inexpensive. Negative ads are forbidden by the administration. The most popular boys and girls usually win. Everybody is given a ballot.

What are the advantges of the electoral college?
The electoral college simplifies the election map for presidential candidates. The candidates need only look at the electoral value of each state instead of the states' actual populations. With the laws in most states a candidate does not have to win overwhelmingly in the state's population to get all of that state's votes, but only a majority. This means that states where the candidate polls well ahead or hopelessly behind can be ignored scene those electoral votes are secured and impossible to get. This means that the candidates can concentrate most of their money and campaigning in what are known as battleground states. These states are states where candidates are polling about even and can those swing the election by campaigning there. Of the 50 states (plus DC) there are only about 18 battleground states, and of those states only 4 of them get more than 50% of the candidates attention and money. So the advantage is that presidential candidates only have to concentrate their effort in a few key states and can ignore most of the rest of the country.
