2. How are delegates chosen?
3. What is "crossover" voting in a primary?
4. What happens if no nominee is chosen after the first ballot?
5. What is an uncommitted delegate?
6. Explain the rules of a caucus.
7. What happens to committed delegates if a candidate drops out of the race?
8. What happened in 1968 to throw the Democratic Convention into turmoil?
