Definition of Libertarian Party (United States) Their presidential ticket, John Hospers and Theodora Nathan, earned fewer than 3,000 votes, but received the first and only electoral college vote for a Libertarian ticket, from Roger MacBride of Virginia, who was pledged to Richard Nixon.

CNN.com - The inevitable vice presidential nominee - Dec. 2, 2003 In micro-politics, the nominee focuses on a major state or constituency in naming a number two, such as a governor who could "deliver" his battleground home state. The macro approach would be to choose for vice president an individual who helps politically beyond a home state and the selection of whom sends a positive message about the presidential nominee, himself. If the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 dares to go macro, then his running mate could be the one public man who has shown the guts, the brains and the will to take on the Class War Criminals who have fleeced millions of Mom and Pop investors. www.cnn.com /2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/02/column.shields.opinion.nominee   (852 words)

Ryze business networking In the bad old days, national party conventions were held so that representatives of state party organizations could meet, choose the party's nominee, choose the national party officers and central committee and work out the party's platform. All of these matters often remained quite unsettled until deals were struck at the convention, usually in the proverbial "smoke-filled back room." The whole process was much less open to the public even 30 or 40 years ago than it is today. Today, the presidential nominee is always chosen by the primary system before the convention, and the convention merely ratifies the party leadership and platform recommended by the nominee's organization. www.ryze.com /posttopic.php?topicid=249465&confid=1250   (273 words)

Why the Next Election May Well Be Decided by the Vice Presidential Nominee It's that time again: a presidential election campaign is in full swing and the pundits are building up a pretty good head of steam. Kansas Senator Bob Dole and former HUD Secretary Jack Kemp, the Republican challengers in 1996, were a mismatch nearly on a par with the Dukakis/Bentsen fiasco, particularly by contrast to the ideological unity of Clinton/Gore. The vice presidential candidate was much less prominent and differences of opinion were less damaging. www.hnn.us /articles/1803.html   (2014 words)

Level Paying Field - The law may allow ads attacking the Democratic presidential nominee to go unanswered. By Richard ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Whether supporters of the Democratic nominee will have the resources to fight back this spring and summer may depend a great deal on arcane administrative decisions to be made by the Federal Election Commission. After this election, the public should reconsider the rules of engagement for financing presidential elections and either beef up the public financing system for presidential campaigns to ensure adequate resources for a fair fight or scrap it altogether. In the meantime, the fate of the presidential election could rest with an appointed commission, which seems even worse than the last time, when it rested with the Supreme Court. slate.msn.com /id/2094599   (1603 words)

Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused Richard M. Nixon, then a U.S. senator from California and the Republican vice presidential nominee, was accused of maintaining a hidden political fund of about $18,000 collected from home-state supporters. Though legal, the previously undisclosed nest egg caused such a stir that Nixon was nearly forced from GOP presidential nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower's ticket. Nixon saved himself with a dramatic if maudlin television appeal that became known as the "Checkers speech", so named because of a cocker spaniel dog given by a supporter to his young daughters which Nixon swore never to give up, come what may in the political wars. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/nixon.htm   (188 words)

My Way - News The presumptive presidential nominee and his former rival met for between 60 and 90 minutes in Kerry's Capitol Hill office, a Democratic official said. Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter noted: "He also said he hadn't been offered the job." Democratic sources said Kerry was miffed by reports that he had discussed the job with McCain on multiple occasions and been rebuffed. Keeping his vice presidential selection almost as private as the choice of a new pope, Kerry and his staff have refused to speculate on names or even discuss the process that veteran Democratic operative Jim Johnson is overseeing. news.myway.com /top/article/id/381249|top|06-16-2004::22:27|reuters.html   (498 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Politics -- Former presidential nominee leading quiet life outside the political ... BOSTON – Sixteen years ago, he was the one trudging through the snows of New Hampshire and the cornfields of Iowa, trying to break out of the pack of Democratic candidates to take on a man named Bush. The diminutive Greek-American with the bushy eyebrows has become a cautionary tale, a campaign caricature, a political ghost that Democratic candidates – even his former lieutenant governor, John Kerry – are loath to be associated with. His ride in a tank, with his helmeted head poking out of the top, has become a legendary example of what not to do during a national campaign – and an indelible symbol of his swift descent in 1988 from August front-runner to November loser. www.signonsandiego.com /news/politics/20031208-0000-dukakis.html   (642 words)
