2008 Presidential Campaign

This depends upon the voting laws of each state. In general though, the local election board or commission will have forms a voter can complete to request an absentee ballot. That absentee ballot is sent to the address requested by the voter. The absentee ballot is filled in by the voter and sent in to the government official responsible for those ballots.

Florida is typically considered a swing state, meaning a state in which no single candidate or party has overwhelming support in securing that state's electoral college votes. That being said, Florida is among several other states that are largely targeted by both political parties in the campaign period before the presidential election.

Yes and no. When they were both senators, they weren't close friends, but they got along perfectly well; however, they had very different views on politics (McCain was a conservative Republican, while Obama was a center-left Democrat). But once they began to campaign against each other for president, the rhetoric on the campaign trail got very intense and both were very critical of the other person's policies and proposals. Still, I've never seen any evidence that they had a personal dislike for each other. It's just that both men were very competitive and wanted to win.

Barack Obama received 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 173 electoral votes, a difference of 192 electoral votes.

Your voting times are determined by your state. Your voting place is determined by your county (or parish or independent city).

The supporters took their campaign all the way to Washington, DC.

Joe the Plumber is Joe Wurzelbacher. He's a real, live person. It was Joe Wurzelbacher (Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) who last weekend approached Barack Obama at a campaign event near Toledo, Ohio. He complained, "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Mr. Obama had to admit that Joe, who is moving in the direction of having a plumbing business that makes between $250,000 and $280,000 a year, was probably correct, and his taxes may well increase under the Obama tax plan. Joe became an overnight celebrity, and the next day news crews appeared outside his home to interview him. He was talked about in the last Presidential debate between the candidates, and both mentioned him (as Joe the Plumber). As Joe the Plumber asked a question that put Barack Obama on the spot and even caused Senator Obama to have to confess to him (Joe) that yes, his taxes may go up under his proposed tax plan of cutting taxes to those who make less that $250,000 per anum and increasing the tax burden on those who make more than a quarter of a million dollars ($250,000) in a year. This provided ammunition for Senator John McCain to use to assail Senator Obama in the race for President. It is John McCain who is largely responsible for the continued fame of Joe Wurzelbacher as he frequently refers to him in campain speeches. Additional information Mr Wurzelbacher's hometown newspaper, the Toledo Blade, revealed Mr. Wurzelbacher did not have a plumbing license and wasn't registered to work as a plumber in Ohio. According to records on file with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, the state filed a tax lien against Samuel J. Wurzelbacher for $1,182.98 on Jan. 26, 2007, and it is still active. You'll find a link below that will take you to the online version of the Financial Times article on Joe.

Wrong. Both Obama & Mitney have agreed to allow teleprompters. Also, questions from the audience must be submitted to the moderator. If approved, the audience member will be allowed to ask it, and ONLY that one question. If they try to deviate, or try to ask another question, the mic will go dead. MY question is, "What is the point of having this debate since it is quite obvious that other people will be giving the candidates answers to all the questions?

The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives is a member of the party with the majority of seats in the House, and is chosen by the members of the party. The House members themselves will use the term "Democratic Leader" or "Republican Leader" to designate the majority and minority leaders. Whichever party is in the majority will also elect the Speaker of the House, virtually always a senior congressman, who will be the highest-ranking member of that party in the House.

As of June 2014, the House Majority Leader is Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and the House Minority leader is Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

The Speaker of the House for the 113th Congress is John Boehner (R-OH).

They don't all meet at the same place. The electors of each state gather within their own state to cast their votes on the Monday that falls after Dec. 12 and before Dec. 20.

The congress is made up of 2 houses; the house of representatives and the senate. Each house have different powers. The house of representatives can impeach the president and propose tax laws. The senate can decide whether the president is guilty or innocent, approve presidential appointments, and approve treaties with foreign countries. Both houses can propose laws, declare war, override the president veto with 2/3 vote, and can propose amendments to the constitution with 2/3 veto.

Hoped this help :)

Five parties nominated candidates for the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and the Constitution Party. In addition to their candidates, Ralph Nader ran as an Independent.

I don't believe there to be any definite law as to what would happen if a president had not been selected before Jan 20th. If the president had not been decided due to a lawsuit about counting vote or the eligibility of voters, the Supreme Court would make a ruling saying who wins. I'd go out on a limb and say that no matter what, the Supreme Court would make some kind of ruling before January (if the election is held up in a lawsuit)

Barrack Obama is in the lead for the election nationally by 7 points.

No! The voter is given one certain place to vote. Usually at a local church, meeting center, fire depot., etc..! However if voter moves their residency to a different town or city, they must contact their local Registrars Office and update their information to figure out where to vote next!

Electors.

The major parties are putting forward Barak Obama and John McCain with numerous others appearing as representatives of minor political parties.

Though I don't have an answer to your question, here is a Wikipedia article addressing the incumbency rate in congress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_stagnation_in_the_United_States It cites about a 90% re-election rate in recent years. I also found an excellent graph of re-election rates in the house and senate over the last 50 years (up to 2006) http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/reelect.php Good luck with your search
