How important is the Republican National Convention for the nomination process?
Absolutely unimportant. It didn't used to be that way. In the current environment, delegates are "pledged" to vote for a particular candidate at the convention. If John Smith and Steve Jones are running for president as Republicans and you're a delegate who's pledged to vote for Jones, that's who you vote for. But in olden times, delegates weren't pledged; if someone wanted to vote for Bear Bryant (the football coach) they could, and someone did. Back then conventions were FUN! Now they're just big pep rallies.

Delegates are chosen by primary elections in which anybody can vote, as well as by party caucuses, that is by election by party leaders.
What is the most important thing in an election?
The main goal of the vast majority of candidates is to win the election. Some few, who have no chance of being elected, run as a protest candidate either to attract attention to a cause or to attract attention to the candidate.
How are you nominated to become a delegate at a national convention?
Delegates are chosen by state party organizations. The methods vary from state to state, and between the two parties. In primary states, candidates file delegate slates with their petitions of candidacy for the nomination. These delegates are usually people of some reputation in the party, who have declared their support for the candidate. After the primary election is held, some of each candidate's slated delegate picks are named delegates, in some proportion to the votes received by each candidate, either statewide or sometimes in each Congressional district. In caucus states, members of the party meet in each local area, and select delegates to county meetings, which then select delegates to a state meeting, which selects the delegates to the national convention. There are usually rules for sharing the delegates at each level. Each candidate's campaign organization names prospective delegates. Some states have both caucus and primary selection. Since 1984, the Democratic party has seated a number of "superdelegates" to its national convention - these being the party's senior organizational officers and elected officials that are Democrats. As of 2008, this group included all Democrat U.S. Representatives and Senators, Governors, members of the Democratic National Committee, former Presidents and Vice Presidents, and some others. About 20% of all votes at the convention were superdelegates.
(in the US) There is no "upper" and "lower" houses of Congress, they are both equal. Under the US form of government one cannot function without the other. Only the geographical areas of the representation of their members, and the terms of their service are different.
When Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate work together this is known as?

What Effect the roman republic have on the US?
The main legacies of the Romans are religion, the alphabet, language, the calendar, law, architecture and literature.
Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.
Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (Romance languages). Many Latin words or words of Latin origin have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.
Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.
The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the minor modifications made by the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar (Julian calendar) by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. Therefore, we basically use the Roman calendar. We also use translations of the Roman names for the months.
The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and ctizenship rights, equality under the law, nobody is above the law, the right to have a proper trial, the right to defend oneself and to be represented, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.
The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.

How many members of Congress with criminal records are Republicans?
I've not found any credible information about the criminal records of congress people, but there is some internet gossip on the matter. One popular urban legend from 1999:
- 29 members of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse.
- 7 have been arrested for fraud.
- 19 have been accused of writing bad checks.
- 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses.
- 3 have been arrested for assault.
- 71 have credit reports so bad they can't qualify for a credit card.
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
- 21 are current defendants in lawsuits.
- And in 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving, but released after they claimed Congressional immunity.
Who will win the presidential eletions?
The most likely candidate to win would be Mitt Romney because he is the frontrunner in the 2012 Republican primary and because our current president Barrack obama has a low approval rating and has made no significant progress in our economy.
Mitt Romney as of Monday October 15, 2012 he has a 9% lead in most polls.
Can you be president and not have the most electoral votes?
One could win the US presidential election without the ten states with the highest number of electoral votes (256), although since numbers nine through eleven each have 15 votes if all eleven of the states with the most electoral votes went for one candidate there is no way the other candidate could win (271 votes against). In the 'top ten ' scenario, all of the remaining states, with the exception of Massachusetts (12 votes) would have to be won by the candidate collecting electoral votes from the smaller (when calculated by electoral votes) states.
