Transcription de la présentation

  1. Chapter 13 Section 4 Objective: To understand the roles of primaries, caucuses, and conventions as parts of the nominating process

  2. A. The Role of Conventions • 1. Extent of control by law • * There is little legal control over the convention process • * Conventions are left up to the parties’ control

  3. 2. Convention Arrangements • * The national committee of each party calls a convention in the summer of each presidential election year. • * The choice of its location is an important one • * 2004 Democrats Boston Republicans New York City • * 2000 Democrats LA Republicans Philadelphia

  4. 3. The Apportionment of Delegates • * The party tells each state how many delegates it may send • * The number is based on the state’s electoral vote, with bonus delegates for those states that have supported the party in recent years

  5. 4. Selection of Delegates • * State laws and/or party rules fix the procedures for selection of convention delegates • * The procedure differs from state to state • * Super delegates vs. elected delegates • * 2004 2,161 Democratic delegates needed to win the nomination

  6. B. Presidential Primaries • 1. History • * Presidential primaries were first held in the early 1900’s • * Today 42 states hold some form of primary • 2. Primaries today • * Delegate selection processes/or elections in which votes can express their preference for Presidential candidates • * Democrats have banned the winner-take-all system and opted for a system of proportional representation • * More than half the states with primaries are only presidential preference primaries..delegates not directly elected.

  7. C. Evaluation of the Presidential Primaries • 1. Primaries democratize the Presidential nomination process and force office seekers to test their candidacy before the public. • 2. Unlike the party in power, the party out of power usually has a hard-fought primary campaign. • 3. Calls for a national primary or a small number of regional primaries will probably not be successful..why?

  8. D. Caucuses and Conventions • 1. The caucus-convention process is the oldest method for selecting national convention delegates. • 2. States that do not have primaries choose convention delegates through precinct level caucuses and local, district, and state conventions.
