An incumbent candidate, in 1979, was believed to possess an overall advantage in the upcoming reelection, and thus built a campaign that would emphasize the Presidential accomplishments that had been achieved during the ongoing term. This campaign and election mentality has been challenged and overwhelmingly disproved. To understand why the incumbency has changed so drastically we must look to the election of 1980, and the events that have shifted the political science world. This insight will give us reason to the modern incumbent campaign and alert us to the signs of a repeating election in 2012. When Jimmy Carter entered the presidential race in 1976 only two percent of the United Stated recognized his name.
"To what extent was it Romney's '47%' comments that meant Obama won the 2012 Presidential Election? 45 marks. Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama. However the election on paper seemed to favour Romney, Obama in his first term had faced unemployment as high as 10% and it sat at 8% before Election Day. The economy was still facing an upward struggle and suggested that Obama had failed to deliver on promises made in his campaign.

The people in the movie did not take being part of the government very seriously and that is why all of this mishap happened to begin with. Towards the end of the movie, Dave confronts the United States people about all the faults of the real president, Bill Mitchell. In the end of the movie everything starts to get cleared up and the vice president becomes the president directly after the United States people were told about Bill Mitchell’s death. That was a good way of using governmental power because they did not hide his death from the people of the United States. I learned a lot from this assignment.
What were the contributing factors to President Bill Clinton’s Economic Legacy? By: Crystal Topor Principles of Economics Bus 221 Mr. Michael Belleman February 21, 2011 Abstract America’s 42nd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, is likely to be remembered for a long-running business cycle expansion and booming economy during his two terms in office. It is largely debated as to whether or not President Clinton was responsible for the Economic upswing that occurred during his Presidency. Many observers credit Alan Greenspan, the Fed chief, with the careful management of the economy, rather than President Clinton. Although Mr. Clinton’s presidency was marred with controversy and scandal, one thing remains clear,
Long voiced populist resentments that many depression-era Americans felt toward 'wealthy plutocrats' and 'bloated fortunes.' He promised, through his implausible Share-Our-Wealth Plan, a radical redistribution of wealth: confiscatory taxes would scale down large fortunes, and the revenue would be used to guarantee everyone a minimum annual income of twenty-five hundred dollars. By 1935, he had launched his own national political organization (the Share-Our-Wealth clubs) and was talking openly of running for president the next year against Roosevelt. The crude public opinion polls of the time indicated that he could not win, but that he might tip the balance in a close race. In fact, the 'Long threat,' as Democratic politicians described it, was probably less serious than it appeared.
"In 1974, Clinton entered his first political race. He felt that Republican Congressman John Paul Hammerschmidt, a strong supporter of President Nixon, was vulnerable in his reelection bid, and therefore decided to run against him. Clinton lost a surprisingly close race, holding Hammerschmidt to only 52 percent of the vote." "Clinton married Hillary Rodham in 1975. A year later he was elected Arkansas's attorney general.
