From Google News Search: "Candidates" Is a presidential candidates stance on gay marriage and abortion important to you? Q. I guess i'm asking because i've always said that there are more important things to worry about (as it pertains to pres. candidates) than how they feel about gay marriage and abortion and I just wanna know if anyone agrees or disagrees with me. Asked by thasweethart - Sat Oct 6 12:59:18 2007 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. Good for you that you are not a sheep falling prey to the "wedge issues". It should not be important at all. They are brought up often because they do nothing but try to rally the base. No one should accept what goes on in a bedroom or a woman's right to choose as more important than the world economy, military conflicts, worldwide environmental problems, and genocidal famine and disease. I consider any candidate that brings up wedge issues nothing but a weak coward not willing to confront the real problems we should be facing. A president without a sense of priority is a president doomed for failure.

I read that there have been two presidential candidates in history of the U.S. who won the general election without winning the electoral vote in their home state, but I can't find out which ones. My 12-year-old daughter's civics teacher didn't know and told her to look it up. Please make her look smart! Asked by Alex Flinn - Wed Nov 21 18:06:38 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The definition of a home state usually refers to the state where the candidate was resident during the nomination process. The following candidates won the election, but lost the state that they were resident in at the time of nomination: Nixon in 1968 lost New York, Wilson in 1916 lost New Jersey, Polk in 1844 lost Tennessee Answered by Harry Hayfield - Sun Nov 25 17:50:33 2007 What happens to all the money the presidential candidates raise when they fall out of the race?
Q. The long list of presidential candidates have raised more money more quickly than ever before, but what happens to that money as they begin to fall out of the race. Does it go back to the party?
