Have GOP Campaigns Always Followed the Pattern Identifiable in the Present One?

Question by Brutus: Have GOP campaigns always followed the pattern identifiable in the present one?
Alright, I am more interested in answers from older citizens who had participated or observed previous presidential campaigns (2000 and earlier). So what I am interested in is if we might be blowing out of perspective how “crazy” the rhetoric in this election cycle is. By observing other political systems, it seems natural to me that early in the election cycle a candidate wouldn’t be too fearful of pandering to the fringes, while he/she would inadvertently begin to gravitate towards the center closer to election date. In a nutshell – did we always have Bachmanns, Cains, and Santorums or are we really regressing today?

my girlfriend was convicted for possession of meth 7 years ago. she did some time in prison and finished a 2 year treatment program for substance abuse. she has been clean and sober now over 6 years and currently works as a residential technician at a treatment facility. she very much wants to go back to school and become a certified counselor specializing in addiction issues. she has turned her life completely around and wants to invest all of her time and knowledge into helping other addicts find recovery. what are the steps she should take to become a drug and alcohol counselor? is there a specific course outline to become one?
