"Nomination" is part of the process of selecting a candidate for either election to an office, or the bestowing of an honor or award. "Presumptive nominee" is a term used when a person or organization believes that the nomination in inevitable. The act of being a candidate in a race is called a "candidacy." "Candidate" is a derivative of the Latin "candida" (white). In Ancient Rome, people running for political office would usually wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions.

Q. I am doing a debate for my history class regarding the the election of 1912. My side is the Republican party, led by William Howard Taft. The other three candidates are the Socialist Party, led by Eugene Debs, the Bull Moose Party, led by Theodore Roosevelt, and the Democrats, led by the eventual president Woodrow Wilson. As Taft, I have to prepare for questions the other parties may ask him, and I am having trouble placing together information in the form of questions from the other parties. Any help is appreciated.

They may ask such things as "Do you enjoy the suffering of thousands of workers?" to which you can discuss how capitalism has improved their lives overall. I'd also recommend looking at the 1912 party platforms, a google search will probably help you. Also, use Wikipedia, and if you're afraid to use it because it "isn't reliable," just visit the citations at the bottom of the page. Answered by Bob Saget - Mon Jan 26 21:03:35 2009 Is a presidential candidates stance on gay marriage and abortion important to you? Q. I guess i'm asking because i've always said that there are more important things to worry about (as it pertains to pres. candidates) than how they feel about gay marriage and abortion and I just wanna know if anyone agrees or disagrees with me.

They are brought up often because they do nothing but try to rally the base. No one should accept what goes on in a bedroom or a woman's right to choose as more important than the world economy, military conflicts, worldwide environmental problems, and genocidal famine and disease. I consider any candidate that brings up wedge issues nothing but a weak coward not willing to confront the real problems we should be facing. A president without a sense of priority is a president doomed for failure.

Q. In the United States over 100 billion dollars is lost each year from people not receiving medical treatment. What solution do the candidates offer to this waste and neglect? How do they plan to make healthcare more accessible? Asked by Elliot - Fri Jun 27 22:27:35 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Obama has a 15 page document on his website detailing the health care problem as he sees it, and his proposed solutions. McCain and 3 pages describing the issue and his plans. Reading these would be much more informative than any comments you will get here. Answered by SusanF - Fri Jun 27 22:31:44 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Candidates"
