The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primaryelection in the USA . In a blanket primary, voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines for instance, a voter might select a Democratic Party United States Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican Party United States Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party s nominee. It differs from the open primary &ndash in open primaries voters may pick candidates regardless of their own party registration, but may only choose among candidates from a single party of the voter s choice. A blanket primary gives registered voters maximum choice in selecting candidates. Compared to other primary systems, the blanket primary is less restrictive for voters because it does not limit them to selecting from only one party s candidates.

Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey for the United States Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States . Produced by Robert Drew , shot by Richard Leacock and Albert Maysles , and edited by D. A. Pennebaker , the film was a breakthrough in documentary film style. Most importantly, through the use of mobile cameras and lighter sound equipment, the filmmakers were able to follow the candidates as they wound their way through cheering crowds, cram with them into crowded hotel rooms, and to hover around their faces as they awaited polling results. This resulted in a greater intimacy than was possible with the older, more classical techniques of documentary filmmaking and it established what has since become the standard style of video reporting. In 1990, this film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant .

A primary challenge occurs in U.S. politics when an incumbent elected official is challenged in an upcoming primaryelection by a member of his own political party . Such events, known informally as being primaried, are noteworthy and not frequent in the United States, as tradition dictates that members of a political party support officeholders of the same party, both for party unity and to minimize the possibility of loss of the seat to an opposing party. In addition, officeholders are frequently seen as de facto leaders of their political party, eligible to establish policy and administer affairs as they see fit. A primary challenge thus interferes with this spoil of office, and is largely discouraged. Frequency in Safe Seats In jurisdictions predominantly under the political control of a single political party, or where the overwhelming majority of registered voter s in jurisdictions that require party registration belong to a single party a safe seat , there is likely to be less fear of opposing parties gaining sufficient support to mount a credible challenge. In such an area, particularly those that have been gerrymander ed, members of the party feel more at ease to challenge current officeholders, because no loss of the seat is expected. Skewed Electorate and Issue Advocacy Group Participation Primary elections in the United States generally draw a very low voter turnout . In addition, only a small portion of the public may be educated on the issue stances of all primary candidates, as primary elections typically use little or no mass media advertising. Political faction Party activist s, ideologue s, and local party leaders may constitute an unusually high number of, or exert disproportionate levels on influence on, those who actually vote. This situation provides opportunities for organizations focused on a single issue, such as gun control , taxation , or abortion ..., while other eligible voters may not want to take the trouble for a minor election.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In theoretical physics , a primary field is a field operator in quantum field theory especially conformal field theory or a theory with supersymmetry that is invariant under the positive frequency modes of the Virasoro algebra or under one half of the supersymmetries and superconformal generators. In conformal field theory, a primary field is equivalent to a tensor field with well defined weights and simple operator product expansion with the stress energy tensor . In the state operator correspondence, a primary field is associated with a highest weight vector. One can also discuss quasi primary fields , which transform as tensor representations of the global conformal group as opposed to primary fields, which vary under local conformal transformations . A descendant field or a secondary field is, on the contrary, a field that is not primary but a field that can be written as the action of negative frequency modes of the Virasoro algebra on a primary field. In terms of representation theory , each irreducible representation contains one primary field and many descendant fields.
