Nominations For Elective Office In The United States

Excerpt from Nominations for Elective Office in the United States The descriptive portion, so far as national politics is con cerned, is based upon the public proceedings of recent conventions, supplemented by interviews and correspondence with men prominent in national affairs. In the case of nomina tions for State and local offices, I have been able to draw to some extent upon my own experience in Massachusetts politics during the last few years. As secretary of the Republican City Committee of Cambridge, Massachusetts, as delegate to various conventions, and as a member of the State Legislature, I have had excellent opportunities for studying the practical working of the system of nomination at present in vogue throughout the greater part of the United States.

The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs. Its ruling said that it is okay for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want in advertising and other methods to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.

On November 4, 2008, Americans will choose their forty-fourth president. The wide-open primaries and presidential campaign have thus far revolved around two of the most historically contentious issues in U.S. politics: race and the use of American power abroad. Is America ready to elect a black president? Or, for that matter, a woman? How will both parties re-imagine America's role in the world in the aftermath of the botched occupation of Iraq? And what are the implications for Canada of a Democratic or Republican victory? The Grano Speakers Series has invited Camille Paglia, Shelby Steele, James Carville, and David Gergen to debate these issues and other in the 2007-8 series. The Race to the White House offers a written record of the talks they gave, completed with the spirited, probing question and answer periods that followed.
