American Political Campaigning - Final, Period 1

The exam was face down on the desk. The sub teacher was at the front, but wasn't interested in talking to anyone. Take the test and get on outta here.

1) Define the following terms: negative campaigning, GOTV, incumbent
2) Why do you think the 2006 midterm elections turned out the way they did?
3) If you were trapped in a campaign office for six months would you prefer to live on a) coffee and cigarettes b) pizza and soda c) random "stews" people drop off and bologna sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread. If you answer c) what is wrong with you?

1) Negative campaigning: focusing on why your opponent sucks rather than why you rock.
GOTV: Right-wing television. Fox News.
incumbent: The candidate in a race who already has the job. Usually difficult to knock out in years not ending in 2006.
2) Everybody's sick of the damn war.
3) Pizza and soda. But I pretty much live on that anyway.
