"Nomination" is part of the process of selecting a candidate for either election to an office, or the bestowing of an honor or award. "Presumptive nominee" is a term used when a person or organization believes that the nomination in inevitable. The act of being a candidate in a race is called a "candidacy."

"Candidate" is a derivative of the Latin "candida" (white). In Ancient Rome, people running for political office would usually wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions.

Why don't the candidates actually answer the questions during their debates?
Q. I noticed during the recent debates that when presented with a simple "Yes or No" question, the candidates go over their time limit talking about anything but the question. As a school teacher, if I gave a test and a student did not answer the question, I would mark it as incorrect. So, all candidates would have a failing grade. They should all receive special tutoring from the "No child/candidate Left Behind Act," and should not be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities like sports, music, and campaigning. Again, why don't the candidates actually answer the questions during their debates?
