Universal suffrage means that even the illegible get to vote.
The difference between a king and a president is that a king is the son of his
father but a president is not.
It is possible to get the majority of electoral votes without getting the
majority of popular votes. Anyone who can ever understand how this works gets
to be president.
Some of our presidents never did much else and are famous only because they
became president.
The president has the power to appoint and disappoint the members of his
cabinet.
Much has been said about balancing the budget. It has been found that the
budget is more talkable than balanceable.
The campaign is when the candidate tells what he stand for and the election
is when the votes tell if they can stand for his being elected.
Actually, elections are different from politics. Elections come and go
while politics are with us all the time.
The winning candidate is elected and inoculated.
In January, the president makes his Inaugural Address after he has been sworn
at.
Once he is elected, sometimes the president has to work 24 hours a day until he
finds out what he is supposed to do.
The nominees are usually called candidates or campaigners although I have heard
them called other things.
One of the strictest rules is all dark horses running for president must be
people.
Popular votes tell who is the most popular. Electoral votes tell who is the
most elected.
A caucus is something people vote in. Sort of a small booth.
An overwhelming favorite is a candidate that often comes over to the
convention and whelms the delegates.
The jobs of delegates is to resent their states.
Noncommittal is to be able to talk and talk without saying anything.
Political science is to try to figure out what makes candidates act that way.
A split ticket is when you don't like any of them on the ticket so you
tear it up.
When they talk about the most promising presidential candidate, they mean the
one who can think of the most things to promise.
Political strategy is when you don't let people know you have run out of ideas
and keep shouting anyway.
A candidate should always renounce his words carefully.
We are learning how to make our election results known quicker and
quicker. It is our campaigns we are having trouble getting any shorter.
Campaigns give us a great deal of happiness by their finally ending.
