What are presidential candidates who receive the backing of their home states rather than that of the national party called?

What is it like to make out?
Asked by Wiki User
Just lips feels a bit like your top and bottom lip touching. Full on making out - like you want to know - feels like lots of saliva being exchanged between you both. Almost like they're dribbling in your mouth (I know it sounds gross but its nice, when you're in the mood). It's like feeling the inside of your own mouth but only you can feel the differences. For me, he had a huge tongue that filled my whole mouth: so it depends on the person. Sorry if I'm unhelpful. You're not missing out all that much. It looks much more glamorous on TV.
What led to the fall of national convention?
Asked by Wiki User
It's almost certainly that a group of people decided to convene.
If you're thinking of the Democratic or Republican National Conventions, there's no actual legal requirement for them. The Democrats and Republicans decided to respectively to hold a convention, so they do. The leaders of the respective parties could ... entirely legally ... simply announce their party's candidate based on a coin flip or whatever, and the only thing you could do about it if you didn't like it is not vote for that party anymore.
For that matter, the US Constitution makes NO PROVISION WHATSOEVER for the existence of political parties, meaning that there are also no restrictions on them other than as otherwise provided for by law; they can choose their candidates however they like provided they don't break any other laws in the process (they can't, for example, perform a ritual murder and read the entrails of the victim to decide the candidate, because murder is illegal, and in most places the remainder of the process would fall afoul of laws against "desecrating a body").
If that bothers you, you may be even more upset to find out that the federal government is not actually required by the constitution to pay any attention whatsoever to the popular vote for president. Instead, it says that the individual states (specifically, the legislature of each state) gets to choose the electors who really determine who's going to be president, and that they can do it in any way they like. If they WANT to hold a popular vote and decide that way, it's fine, but if they want to do it some other way, that's ALSO fine. For the first few presidential elections, several states just had their state congress pick the electors directly. In my home state, for most of the 20th century even though you voted in the presidential election, you technically were not voting for a presidential candidate but instead for an elector who had pledged that, were he to become an elector, he would vote for a particular candidate. And what could you do if he instead voted for someone else? Most of the time, bupkis (a few states have enacted laws against it, but none of them have ever actually been enforced). There's an official term for this ... "faithless elector" ... and it's actually happened several times: 157 so far, though it's never made any difference in the actual outcome of the election. The closest it's ever come is in 1836, when no fewer than 23 electors decided together to prevent Richard Johnson from winning the vote for Vice-President. In practice, though, this just meant no one got a majority, so the US Senate got to decide, and they promptly elected Johnson anyway.
Who are the democratic running mates?
Asked by Wiki User
If you are asking about the United States, in 2008, the Democratic candidate for Vice President was Joseph Biden, and the Republican was Sarah Palin. In 2012, the Democrat was again Mr. Biden, and the Republican was Paul Ryan. Since Barack Obama (Democrat) won both times, Joe Biden will serve his second term as Vice President. (Mr. Biden was a U.S. senator from Delaware prior to being chosen as Barack Obama's vice president.)
Who will win the presidential eletions?
Asked by Wiki User
The most likely candidate to win would be Mitt Romney because he is the frontrunner in the 2012 Republican primary and because our current president Barrack obama has a low approval rating and has made no significant progress in our economy.
Mitt Romney as of Monday October 15, 2012 he has a 9% lead in most polls.
What makes a person Jewish?
Asked by Wiki User
There are a combination of things that makes Jews Jewish. One of the most obvious is that they practice Judaism. Just like a Muslim practices Islam and Christians practice Christianity, the Jew practices Judaism.
There is also a Semitic race called Hebrews, whose Jewish descendants are Jews by definition.
So you can be ethnically Jewish and/or you can practice Judaism. Judaism is the oldest continuously practiced religion in the world. It contains many unique practices. Also, many of the laws that are practiced in the Western countries are directly attributable to the Jewish social laws.
Answer 2
A person is a Jew if they have a Jewish mother or have converted, whether or not they are practicing Jews religiously.
Answer 3
Someone who is a Jew is obligated by Jewish Law to keep the Mitzvot (Commandments). This is the meaning of "the chosen nation" - a nation chosen by God to keep his Torah. Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses."

because the federal development system was not counted as being a federal court so they count it as not being one of the actual federal court system of the untied states
How is the law of multiple proportions different from the law of definite proportions?
Asked by Wiki User
The Law of definite proportions states that no matter how you make a chemical compound, it's got the same ratio of elements. An example: Whether you make water by combining hydrogen and oxygen or by decomposing hydrogen peroxide, the resulting water will still be 1 part by mass of hydrogen to eight parts by mass of oxygen. This seems obvious to us, but was pretty revolutionary back in Dalton's day. Back in the old days, chemical compounds frequently appeared to have different properties when made by different methods. We now know that this isn't because the compounds actually have different properties, but because when you use different methods to make chemical compounds and have low tech equipment, the different methods used cause different contaminants to be in the compound formed, making it appear as if it's a different compound with related, but different properties.
The law of multiple proportions refers to different chemical compounds that can be formed when two elements react with each other. For example, hydrogen and oxygen can react to form water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In the first compound, one gram of hydrogen combines with 8 grams of oxygen. In the second, one gram of hydrogen reacts with 16 grams of oxygen. If we look at the ratio of these to each other, 8/16 =2, which is a whole number. The law of multiple proportions says that whenever oxygen and hydrogen (or any two elements react to form more than one compound), the ratios of the elements to each other will be some whole number multiple of the ratios of the elements in the other compounds
What is an object oriented program?
Asked by Wiki User
The term "object-oriented program" is essentially meaningless. Object-oriented programming applies to high-level source code, not to programs.
High-level source code does not create a program as such because because the high-level instructions are far too abstract for the machine to understand. In order to create an actual program, the high-level symbolic code must be converted to native machine code, the only language the machine actually understands. This is achieved through compilation or interpretation or a combination of the two. Machine code is an entirely procedural language; there is no such thing as object-oriented machine code.
Machine code is non-portable. To overcome this, a compiler may convert the source code to an intermediate form such as byte code. Byte code is usually portable but it still needs to be converted to native machine in order to execute. This is achieved by an interpreter. The interpreter handles the execution, converting byte code to machine code while the byte code is executing within the interpreter. Although portable, byte code has to be interpreted every time it is executed, so it is much slower to execute than native machine code. However, like machine code, byte code is entirely procedural.
Although it is (theoretically) possible to execute high-level object-oriented instructions through interpretation, it makes no sense to do so as this would only reduce performance even further. The whole point of compiling to byte code is to produce code that can be efficiently interpreted in order to keep performance as high as possible.
