Elections: The Campaign

The convention closes and almost everyone goes home when the speeches and celebrations are over. The really hard work is just beginning for the candidates, though. The final campaign gets under way after the major parties choose their candidates. The race for the White House is front-page news for the next few months. The candidates go out on the road again, meeting and greeting the voters. During this time, they give hundreds of speeches and interviews. It is during this period that presidential debates take place, too.
