Jesse Jackson ran for president in 1988.

Sum of interior angles of ANY n-sided pentagon is (2n - 4) right angles, so 100 - 4 = 96 right angles ie 8640 degrees and each angle = 8640/50 = 172.8 degrees. Alternative method: Total exterior angles = 360 degrees so each in 50-gon is 360/50 ie 7.2 degrees. Interior angles are therefore 180 - 7.2 ie 172.8 degrees.

November 4th, 2008 is election day. All of it will end as soon as the voting booths close and the votes are counted.

No. The networks insist on declaring winners as soon as they possibly can by using exit polls in those states that could go either way. Sometimes all they need to declare a winner is seeing how a particular state has voted thereby knowing how many electoral votes each candidate has gotten. They keep track of the voting patterns throughout the country this way and can predict fairly accurately the outcome of the election, sometimes even before the Midwest polls close. This year Pennsylvania is shaping up as a key state. Some political observers feel that McCain cannot win the election unless he wins Pennsylvania. This is just speculation of course. But it is possible that networks might declare a winner soon after or even just before polls close in Pennsylvania.

where there is no incumbent running in an election. Like when a president leaves office after his second term. another example is when a senator, like Ted Kennedy, dies and so the seat is "open"

The way the various candidates voted on the Iraq War is important to a large number of Americans because they fault the current crisis in Iraq and the American lives lost on that vote and its follow-through. A vote in favor of the Iraq War signals a callousness as regards American and Iraqi lives under this rubric.

Probably not. He was considering a run for Governor of ALabama, but his heavy gambling and constant sound bites would not help him.

The National party. John Key as the new prime minister.

Big question. The people of Great Britain have many different opportunities to vote for many different things. They can vote in their own Parliament to European Parliament and local elections, as well as an assortment of other elections.

Your question most likely is regarding the general election for Parliament and the Government. This occurs on the prescribed election day (currently a Thursday) at the end of five years since the last election. The next general election will be held on 7 May 2015.

But, since Britain is a Parliamentary system it is possible for the Parliament to be dissolved and another election called (In Great Britain it is the Queen who calls the election and in other countries the President.) should sufficient members of the party forming the government choose to abandon that party for another party or some independent status. In some parliamentary based countries this happens frequently, in others, like in Great Britain not so much.

It is felt that this election is very important because the Americans are coming off of eight years with a mostly unfavorable president. Many Americans are looking forward to change, and the question is: what kind of change?

It was the first election of a U.S. President whose ancestry is half European/ half African.

It was the first time that a Democratic presidential candidate received more than 50% of the nationwide popular votes since Jimmy Carter did in 1976, and it was the first time that a Democratic presidential candidate both received more than 50% of the nationwide popular votes and carried more than 50% of the states since Lyndon Johnson did in 1964.

It was also the first U.S. presidential election since 1952 in which neither the incumbent President nor the incumbent Vice President was a candidate.

they did not agree on war economics

Some delegates are bound by a primary election or caucus. Some delegates are not bound by primary results but are free to vote as they see fit. Some delegates are bound to a candidate only on the first ballot. The relative percentage of each type of delegate varies with the states and with rules of the parties.

trick question it didn't affect it at all :D

Russia does not have a mayor, it has a national government. The President of Russia is Dmitri Medvedev and the Prime Minister is Vladimir Putin.

The word means "related or pertaining to the presidency ". In the context of a US presidential campaign when applied to a candidate, it means the candidate looks or acts the way a President might be expected to look or act.
