 | | McCain won primaries in Michigan, his home state of Arizona, and a handful of Northeastern states, but faced difficulty in appealing to conservative Republican primary voters in spite of demonstrated support from Democrats and independents. |  | | In the 1996 election, the Reform party had nominated Ross Perot for president, and Pat Buchanan had run for and lost the nomination of the Republican Party. |  | | Bauer and Hatch campaigned on a traditional Republican platform of opposition to legalized abortion and reductions in U.S. taxes. |

| | U.S. presidential primary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In a semi-closed primary, voters unaffiliated with a party (independents) may choose a party primary in which to vote. |  | | The long process of choosing the President of the United States begins with a series of individual state primary elections, in which voters in particular parties express their preference among a series of candidates. |  | | This has not always been the case, however; until the latter half of the 20th century, nominees were indeed chosen by a nominating convention of mostly party leaders. |

| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
 | | A majority of states use presidential primaries in which voters take part either by electing delegates on a given candidate's slate to the national conventions or by voting their preference for the candidates listed on the state ballot. |  | | A majority of states use what is known as a closed primary, whereby the voter must have previously declared himself or herself a member of the party before he or she can vote in that party's primary. |  | | Although there were isolated instances of direct-primary nominations in the 19th century, primary elections were first provided for to a significant extent by state law early in the 20th century, and nearly all nominations are now made in primaries. |

 | | A primary is a state-level election in which voters choose a candidate affiliated with a political party to run against a candidate who is affiliated with another political party in a later, general election. |  | | A primary may be either open -- allowing any registered voter in a state to vote for a candidate to represent a political party, or closed -- allowing only registered voters who belong to a particular political party to vote for a candidate from that party. |  | | In Iowa, one of the fifteen U.S. states to hold a caucus, a candidate must have at least 15 percent of the vote to send delegates on to a county convention. |
