• 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.

• Heredity is a bad thing in politics because it gets us kings instead of presidents.

• 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.

• When the radio mentions a landslide, cross your fingers and hope it is talking about an election.

• Political science is to try to figure out what makes candidates act that way.
