The paper compares a variety of aspects of the campaigns, including campaign financing, platform and support, candidate profiles, media coverage, scandal, redistricting, and election results.
From the Paper
"McVey ran on a platform of economic growth and job creation, stating that Indiana has been sliding compared to the rest of the nation. McVey claimed that "there are many federal issues, such as funding for transportation and airport projects to changes in the tax code, which can have an impact on Indiana's economy. 'She's been in office six years... I haven't heard one word about what Carson is doing and advocating for.? McVey also cited Carson?s votes against President Bush?s tax cut package and against ?fast-track? trade authority. McVey?s views on political issues were much more conservative than Carson?s. He supported an amendment that would make flag burning illegal. opposed partial-birth abortion, and supported the right to bear arms. McVey also supported Bush?s policies on Iraq and taxes."

From the Paper
"In another election featuring Myrth York as the democratic candidate for Governor and Don Carciri as the Republican Candidate negative ads also played a role in the loss of the election. By all accounts York was ahead in the polls but her negative attacks against he opponent proved to be her undoing. This was the second time that she had run foe office and in her pervious attempt she had also lost because of negative campaigning. In the most recent instance the ads that she promoted rubbed constituents the wrong way and proved to be unfounded. This is yet another case of a candidate crossing the line and engaging in negative campaign."

Abstract
This paper examines how, to truly understand the role of election campaigns have in the final election results, it is essential to understand that two views exist. On one hand, it is argued that the voters decide on their candidate before campaigning commences, while the other view argues that it through this activity that the voters reach their decision. It argues that, in order to be able to comprehend the true nexus between the campaign and voter's minds, the first step is to appreciate that campaigns are as dynamic and multifaceted in character as they are in their effects.
From the Paper
"Many researches have been undertaken to examine how campaigns effect voters during democratic elections to bring the government into office. The researches undertaken initially on this issue were controlled in the sense that inadequate information was available. This meant that the research would be unable to offer a comprehensive answer to the question. The research undertaken by D. Sunshine Hillygus shows that the effect a campaign has is dependant on other factors also and that the campaign does impact the vote bank. Before giving a detailed analysis of these elements it is important the traditional view."

Abstract
This paper examines how the use of polling data about public opinion to formulate a strategy is the single most essential element in a successful campaign and how, by properly employing public opinion in a campaign, the candidate increases his or her chance for election. It demonstrates how, in general, today, the campaign revolves around the necessity to interpret the poll information and respond accordingly to the public's desires.
From the Paper
"In the last decade the modern election has moved in the direction of more important campaign consultants. Politicians need to delegate the jobs in an election to multiple people who have a set goal of being voted to office. As stated in Sabato?s American Government, ?Many critics claim that consultants strip campaigns of substance and reduce them to a clever bag of tricks for sale, even blaming the degeneration of American Politics in the latter half of this century on the rise of the political consultant? (p. 517). Running a successful campaign has turned into a game of sorts. No longer does the candidate with the best plan to represent his people come into office. They political consultant takes everything that the politician already has, and tries to mold all the information into an image that the public will buy. Campaigns raise money for a variety of tasks that need to be managed."

Abstract
This paper reviews the strategy used by Hillary Clinton in getting elected to the United States senate. The writer studies this historic episode because Hillary Rodham Clinton is the only first lady ever to run for such a high office, and this fact alone draws considerable media and other attention. The paper explores women in politics and leadership before looking specifically the the case of Hillary Clinton. The writer includes a background into her politics, family life and values. The paper then explores the needs of the state of New York and the ability of Clinton to meet those needs.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton herself is a lightning rod for conservative and Republican political activists and for some voters, and this fact cannot be ignored. This is true not only because of a certain anger at the personal behavior of her husband but also because the Clintons have been demonized by the opposition since Bill Clinton was first elected President, and even before that in Arkansas. One might think that as the wronged wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton would gain more sympathy, but instead her status as victim is turned into a warped idea of how evil she and her husband are."

"ELECTIONS IN PANAMA
This research paper examines the electoral process in Panama during the post-World War II period, with particular emphasis on the presidential election campaign of 1994, the first national election after the American military intervention in late 1989, and the two elections immediately preceding, in 1984 and 1989. Political democracy has yet to take firm root in Panama, which its sad electoral history illustrates. Prior to 1994, Panamanian elections have been marred by charges of fraud and corruption, and their results have often been annulled by military coups. The underlying problems have principally been an imbalanced and poor economy, the absence of a strong middle class and faction-ridden upper class-dominated political parties. Some view the results of the 1994 election as a rejection of the American intervention of ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the 2004 Presidential elections were not as contentious as the 2000 election and may not go down in history as one of the worst election in history, it certainly changed the way many politicians look at elections and the way the Democratic Party will attack elections in the future. The author points out that the campaign issues were quite clear and quite emotional on both sides: President Bush ran on a conservative ticket, opposing moral issues such as gay-marriage, abortion and gun control: whereas, Senator Kerry's focused on the positive and was far more liberal on just about every issue, from gay marriage to foreign policy. The paper states that Senator Kerry's campaign could not rouse the American people as much as President Bush's could and it seems that many of Kerry's supporters and political advisors did not know how to advise Kerry; therefore, he seemed to "flip-flop" on many of his positions.
From the Paper
"Election week was a flurry of campaigning, political ads, and polls. In the Showdown States, many voters complained of numerous phone calls and in-person visits from both parties, along with many special interest groups who were employing every measure they could in a last ditch effort to elect their specific candidate. The polls showed the election was extremely close (nearly 50-50), and so, the campaigning was much more intense than many people remembered in previous years. The battle for electoral votes seemed all in Kerry's favor early in the election results, when many East Coast polls closed. Kerry won in many East Coast states, including New York and Massachusetts, but Bush carried the states in the Midwest, such as Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and of course, Ohio. These states tend to be more conservative in their outlook, and are traditionally Republican strongholds, and this was the case in 2004."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Canadian Federal Elections 2004, also called the 38th General Election, which were held on June 28, 2004, resulted in the Liberal government of Prime Minister Paul Martin losing its majority but still were able to form a minority government, being the single largest party.

The paper relates that Prime Minister Paul Martin was expected to have an easy victory and form the fourth consecutive Liberal majority government, but the impact of sponsorship scandal reduced the margin of victory and the Liberals could not have a clear majority.

From the Paper
"The Conservative party leader was quite sanguine when he said: "We will accept the verdict of the Canadian people but will remind the government...they will be held accountable." The threat of the Conservative party was a Damocles' sword having over the head of the Liberal government. The Liberal win had the seeds of its own defeat in its victory. Historically, Canada had nine minority governments and none of them lasted for more than two years. These minority governments have been limited by their ability to get their bills passed. Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative party, realized that Ontario is the most important province where he did not fare well."

From the Paper
"Political organization is dependent on the leader of a country. However, he too is dependent on the popularity he gains through election. Modern day election is no longer a structure of simple popularity and what people believe but instead, most elections has become a ground for political propaganda. For instance in the U.S. elections, the federal controls the standard of the election to ensure there is no unfair voting strategies. However, the question arises who would govern the Fed themselves? How will the public know that the ruling party does not influence the controlling body. Similar notions / questions could be raised in the case of French election procedures, a nation that is marked by socialist and republic governance suddenly changed to democracy. "

From the Paper
"The Democratic Party believed that the Republicans stood to lose due to the record levels of corruption in the administration of President Grant. The Democratic Party also believed that people were tired of the Republican Party as they were responsible for the economic crisis, which had hit the nation and had left them all suffering as a result. The republicans were also hated due to their constant quotation of the term reconstruction. Reconstruction was something, which the southern states, hated, as they had to adapt according to the plans laid out by the reconstruction process."

Abstract
Historically, presidential campaigns have provided a forum for discussing change and expressing uniquely American ideals and ideas. In the past, heated campaigns have generated great excitement. Although the 2000 presidential race has been described as close with an unpredictable outcome, for lack of clear-cut ideals the campaign has stirred little passion among voters. This paper traces the history of presidential campaigning and examines what makes this one unique.
