How are candidates chosen to run for office?
If you are talking about candidates for office, political parties do not choose their leaders. The leaders are chosen in Primary elections. If you are talking about positions in the U.S. congress, each party has a meeting, called a caucus, and they determine who recives the most prominant positions available. "But the real decisions are made by rich old white men in smoke filled rooms. All the rest of the show, the primaries, the conventions, the endless campaigning is all smoke and mirrors; a sop to the sensibilities of the great unwashed masses." This last part may have been true in the earlier history of U.S. politics but is not true today. The political parties have lost significant power in the poltical system as it stands today. A prime example is Sen. McCai, the Republican nominee for President. The base of the Republican party did not want him to be the nominee, several influencial members of the party threatened to boycott the 2008 election if he was chosen as the nominee. The smoke filled rooms are a thing of the past when it comes to important U.S. offices.
