Candidate

A candidate, or nominee, is the prospective recipient of an award or honor, or a person seeking or being considered for some kind of position; for example:

  • to be elected to an office — in this case a candidate selection procedure occurs.
  • to receive membership in a group
  • "Nomination" is part of the process of selecting a candidate for either election to an office by a political party, or the bestowing of an honor or award. This person is called a "nominee," though nominee often is used interchangeably with "candidate." Presumptive nominee is a term used when a person or organization believes that the nomination is inevitable or likely. The act of being a candidate in a race for either a party nomination or for electoral office is called a "candidacy." Presumptive candidate may be used to describe someone who is predicted to be a formal candidate.

    "Candidate" is a derivative of the Latin "candidus" (shining white). In Ancient Rome, people running for political office would usually wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions.

  • Candidate (degree)

    Candidate (Latin candidatus or candidata) is the name of various academic degrees, chiefly in Scandinavia and the post-Soviet states. In Scandinavia, it is a higher professional-level degree usually corresponding to 5–7 years of studies, whereas in the post-Soviet states, it is a research degree roughly equivalent to an American PhD.

    The term is derived from Latin candida, meaning white. In Ancient Rome, men running for political office would usually wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions. The term candidate thus came to mean someone who seeks an office of some sort.

    Scandinavia

    In Scandinavia, the term was introduced in the early 18th century and referred to the higher degrees in theology, law and medicine. A candidate's degree in the relevant field (e.g. Candidate of Law) was a requirement for appointment to higher offices in the state administration (embede), including as priests, judges and state officials, and doctors. In Denmark, Norway and Sweden the term "candidate" was eventually used for most higher professional academic degrees, usually awarded after around 5–7 years of studies. In Norway, only a few candidate's degrees (such as cand.theol., cand.med. and cand.psychol.) are still awarded, while in Denmark and Sweden, all candidate's degrees are retained.

    Candidate

    by: David Bowie

    I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
    We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
    My set is amazing, it even smells like a
    street
    There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend
    Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
    Who wrote up scandals in other bars
    I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
    Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
    Some make you sing and some make you scream
    One makes you wish that you'd never been seen
    But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache
    Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
    If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
    So you scream out of line
    "I want you! I need you! Anyone out there?
    Any time?"
    Tres butch little number whines "Hey dirty, I want you
    When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"
    If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
    Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
    For I put all I have in another bed
    On another floor, in the back of a car
    In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
    Well, I guess we've must be looking for a different kind
    But we can't stop trying 'til we break up our minds
    Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
    Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
    I guess we could cruise down one more time
    With you by my side, it should be fine
    We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
