Historically in the United States it was not traditional for presidential nominees to frequently campaign. It was considered undignified to constantly run a campaign for themselves. In 1896 this tradition changed. Supporters started camping outside of the nominee’s house, eager to see their candidate. William Jennings Bryan spent large amounts of time on his campaign.
He ran against Denny Rehberg, who had won in the same district he had – a benefit of Montana’s small voter population. He was one of the most vulnerable Democrats, running in a conservative state against someone who had been in politics for longer than he had, so how did he keep his position in the United States Senate? Montana is a

He worked long hours campaigning and convincing people that he was the best candidate for the position. When election day came, he lost the election by twenty-nine votes.

When the next term for the governor position became available, Arthur became a candidate once again.
They are doomed from the start because of Lennie’s fatal flaw—he is developmentally disabled and therefore incapable of bringing the dream to fruition—but his naïveté also allows both him and George to pursue the dream. Lennie’s innocence permits George to believe that the dream might be attainable: “George said softly, ’I think I knowed we’d never do her. He usta like to hear about it so much I got to thinking maybe we would.’” Lennie is the keeper of the dream; he does not question its inevitable fulfillment, he simply believes. Without this innocence, George would be like all the other ranch hands, wasting his money on whiskey and women, drifting aimlessly from one job to the

I recently read a book titled The Death and Life of Great American Cities written by Jane Jacobs (1962), which basically criticizes the focus and planning processes generally employed in planning the renovation and rebuilding of cities historically and today. In addition, she states that she has identified four criteria necessary to produce exuberant diversity in a city’s streets and districts. This tells me that in order for a city to realize its potential as a resilient, economic and socially viable city and be a place where people want to live and work, these elements should be present. If these elements are present could be an indicator of success for an urbanized environment. I propose to look at the downtown Phoenix area surrounding City Hall, which has and continues to undergo significant rebuilding and revitalization projects in the past several years, in an effort to try and identify the presence or absence of the four elements, all of which are designed to encourage people
