Twenty-four years ago the 1984 Mock Convention chose Geraldine Ferraro as its Vice Presidential Candidate months before Walter Mondale actually selected her as his running mate.
The 2000 Republican Mock Convention nominated Senator John McCain for president and Elizabeth Dole for Vice President. |
The event helps educate participants about the fundamentals of one of the most intriguing U.S. political events, the presidential nominating convention. The Mock Convention also informs participants about the candidates and key issues in the upcoming election.
The Mock Convention brings together participants from both the University and Delaware community. It is designed as an educational tool, as well as a social event, for people with various party affiliations to interact and discuss a wide-range of policy issues. Previous political knowledge is not necessary to participate.
To ensure there is lively debate and competition among a number of candidates, Ohio Wesleyan's Mock Convention traditionally represents the party currently not in control of the White House. Therefore, the 2008 Mock Convention will be a Democratic Party convention.
