2008 Presidential Campaign

Currently, Barack Obama, the democratic candidate is winning, but the vote is tomorrow, on November 4th, 2008. Barack Obama has won the majority of electorial votes in the United States, and has become the United States President-elect and will be officially sworn-in as President of the United States of America at the end of President George W. Bush's term of Presidency on January 20 2009.

The number of voters was down slightly from 2008, but these are the totals: President Obama won re-election with 65,899,660 votes (51%) to Mitt Romney's 60,932,152 (47.2%). President Obama also received 332 electoral votes, to Romney's 206.

I often beg of individuals to really think about the question they are asking before they type. And then to check your question before finalizing, but I suppose I wont hold my breath now to answer the question as best as I can;

The political system you are referring to is a MONARCHY. That IS the political system in which a King or Queen , possibly at very least a Regent in stead of their sitting monarch has supreme control over the people of the region or country.

In the United States of America, it's were a number of presidential canadiates will race against each other to become President of the United States of America. There are also parties involved. It depends on what you want to determine what party you want to be in, there are the Democrates and the Republican parties. To become president, you must have a degree in criminal justice and must have been born in the United States to become president in the United States. There is also an age limit too. You must be 35 years old. There are also terms. Each term is four years. A single president can only serve for two terms in a row. To become president, citizens of the United States vote on the presidential canadiate that they believe should win the election. So to become president, you also need a lot of money. Most of your money will come from donations and contributions. Like I said, you will need a lot of money, in the Bush and Gore campaign, they spent a total of about $850 Million. So, like I said you will need a lot of money to become president, so when you do decide to become president, make a good speech and have a good reason to become president, because people vote on you for what they want in their society.

California cast its 55 electoral votes for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The party whose candidate wins the popular vote in California gets to choose the electors. The Democrats allow each Democratic congressional nominee and each Senate nominee from the last two elections to choose an elector.

The televised debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon was probably the most decisive event for the election of 1960. The growth of TV as a new medium, and declined use of radio marked a significant change in how campaigns are ran today. For the TV appearance, Nixon refused to wear make-up and therefore appeared unshaven, tired and sweaty under the lights. Kennedy, however, did wear the make-up and so appeared cooler and more composed than Nixon. Kennedy, before the debate, returned tan and attractive from vacation. Not only did Kennedy appear to be better groomed, and handsome, his suit was navy popping off the grey back drop. Nixon's suit was grey, blending in to the curtain behind him. With these factors combined, Among TV viewers agreed, Kennedy won the debate. Richard Nixon's deep, strong, radio appealing voice won over all radio listeners, they agreed Nixon won the debate. Nixon entered the race ahead of Kennedy. Television as a new medium changed presidential elections from this point on, marking the election of 1960 significant. Radio voice failed to prevail over now "candidate centered" television campaigns.

Franklin D Roosevelt (fourth time) and Thomas E Dewey, both of NY. Their running-mates were Harry S Truman of Missouri and John W Bricker of Ohio. FDR won by 432 electoral votes to 99, but this was the Republicans' best showing against him out of the four campaigns.

In 2008: December 15.

"Electors chosen on Election Day meet in their respective state capitals (or in the case of Washington, D.C., within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for President and Vice President. In 2008, that meeting will be on December 15." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College )

As of November 2006, 67.6% of Americans were registeres to vote. Bluup!

.... Didn't answer the question at all. But, for the record, no amount of googling could get me the answer either (if you are taking about pre-civil rights movement).

There are a number of factors. For one, times had changed. In 2008, the country was frustrated by the last term of President Bush. He had been popular at first (although very polarizing even then) but two wars, a ballooning deficit, poor handling of Hurricane Katrina, and a number of scandals in the Republican party left Americans eager for someone else to step in. Barack Obama was young, a great speaker, and he was different from any other president, since he was African-American. Many voters got caught up in the moment-- including some Republicans-- and voted for what was a great historical change in American history.

By 2012, the country was in a different place emotionally. Some people had unrealistically expected President Obama to transform the country, which of course no president can do; in Mr. Obama's case, the hopeful message gave way to political reality. He soon had a totally intransigent congress, and partisan gridlock kept anything from moving forward. The economy had recovered much more slowly than anyone expected, many Americans were struggling, and while it was not all Mr. Obama's fault, a lot of Americans were disappointed in him. They did not warm up to Mitt Romney, however, who was perceived as a candidate who only cared about the rich. Thus, while Mr. Obama was re-elected, he did not win as many votes, nor was the electorate as enthusiastic as they had been in 2008.

From Austin Lopez

An ordinance is a statute or law passed by the city council.

If he is expected to recover the Vice President or another official is appointed to assume his duties until he is well enough to resume function; if his ilness prevents him from being able to return to his duties he must either resign or be removed from office, and the Vice president becomes Presidnet.

There are many arguments for why Barack Obama was popular with the electorate. He won in a landslide, so it is safe to say his message resonated with voters in 2008.

Mr. Obama's supporters would say he won because the country was tired of eight years of failed Republican policies, including an unnecessary and costly war in Iraq; President Bush had become increasingly unpopular, plus the Republican party was in the midst of several corruption scandals. People were ready for a change and they believed John McCain would just be like 4 more years of Bush. Further, Mr. McCain was much older, and seemed out of touch with the problems facing young people. He was not a very good speaker, and the average voter did not warm up to him. So, the public voted for change-- which meant Barack Obama. Mr. Obama's supporters would also say he was charismatic, dynamic, had a bold vision for improving the country, and was a very inspirational figure, especially for young people and minorities, who voted for him in large numbers. He also made excellent use of social media like Facebook and Twitter to mobilize youthful voters, something Mr. McCain did not do.

Barack Obama's opponents were very upset about John McCain losing. They blamed the so-called "liberal media," which they believed had been biased against Mr. McCain and overtly favored Mr. Obama. They accused the new president of not being an American citizen, or of having friends who were anti-American. They complained Mr. Obama lacked enough experience, and they said John McCain lost because many Americans wanted a black president rather than the most qualified president. It was a bitter campaign, and many of the hard feelings lingered even after the campaign was over.

Typically it is done in a big ceremony on the steps of the US Capital. It has been done in on an airplane and in the room of a house. The location really doesn't matter, but they like to make a big spectacal of the occassion.
