Week 9: The Presidency & the Nomination Process

In this week's class, we will be examining the presidential nomination process and how our presidential candidates are chosen. This will include campaign financing laws, the Primary system, the caucus, and how delegates are awarded in the primary-caucus-convention system. Students will participate in a class mock Republican caucus and information about candidates can be found elsewhere on this blog under "Useful U.S. Presidents Links" by clicking on 2008 Republican Presidential Candidates.

Next week we will be examining in detail the Electoral College, local, state and National elections, Ohio state issues and other National ballot issues as we prepare for Election Eve on November 4, 2008.
