HOW OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS WORKS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does our election process actually work? You may think it's incredibly boring -- and you'd be right. So we explain it using pretty pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hL_-cXje1-g"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hL_-cXje1-g" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;06. IT'S ALWAYS BELLWETHER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a bellwether seat? The answer may interest you. It may also bore you, we don't want to rule that out.

HOW TO BE A POLITICIAN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say you want to be a politician. Once you're done saying that, you're going to need to know what to expect and how to act. Shannon gives you a complete rundown of everything you need to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HwPNdvU4c9Q"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HwPNdvU4c9Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;08.
