How are candidates nominated for office?

I think that the answer you are looking for is:

1. interest groups

2. research and writing of bills

3. political culture

4. mass media records

5. biased sampling

6. the federal election campaign act.

7. information

8. peer group

9. representative sample

10. random sampling

hope this helps... and double check number 4 because i think it might be poll. all the rest im sure about!

#4 is polls
