Any controversy with any planks in the Republican platform?
Will Romney have to agree with the platform?
Student Responses....
Platforms are a series
of core beliefs. Some examples of platforms are, pro-life/pro choice,
rights to work, immigration, less regulation. They are a bunch of main
topics which are core beliefs of the party. A plank is any one of the multiple stated
topics or principles comprising a political platform during a election.
They have decided to not use military as a plank but will enforce the defense
of marriage act and armed forces. Mitt Romney has platfroms such a him
being pro-life, being against capitol punishment, and wants to be independent
from foreign oil and find alternative sources of fuel. There are many
more of his platforms.

Teachers note-
The candidate does not have to align with the party platform. Convervatives or liberals may get a plank in the party platform which is "too extreme" for the candidate.
