  • Political Parties and Soft Money
    chapter 7 Political Parties and Soft Money The role of the players in political advertising—candidates, parties, and groups—has been analyzed in prior chapters. However, the newly changing role of political parties in the world of advertising requires additional scrutiny. With the new influx of unlimited funds from business interests, labor unions, and wealthy individuals, spending by party committees on television for all federal offices in the 2000 election reached $162 million, more than $81 million of which was spent on advertising in the presidential election alone. This represents about a 60% increase over party spending in the 1996 elections.1 According to FEC records, this increase in party spending was largely boosted by a dramatic rise in “soft money.” This chapter examines the unique role that political parties now play in political advertising. Particular attention is given to the sources of “soft money,” and what the flow of this money into the parties has meant for party politics. 1. “2000 Presidential Race First in Modern History Where Political Parties Spend More on TV Ads than Candidates,” Brennan Center Press Release (Dec.11, 2000) [www.brennancenter.org]. 60. $300,000,000 THE CONCEPT OF “SOFT MONEY” Democrat Republican discussed in greater detail in Chapter Three, the $250,000,000 As concept of “soft money” arises by contrast with the concept of “hard money,” the latter of which refers $200,000,000 to funds raised under the restrictions of campaign finance law. The federal restrictions include bans on contributions $150,000,000 from certain sources—corporate and union treasuries, and foreign nationals, for example—and monetary limits on $100,000,000 the amounts of contributions from all others.

Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote.

Sebelius rose to the governorship after serving in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995 and serving two terms as Kansas insurance commissioner from 1995 to 2003. She was the first insurance commissioner from the Democratic Party in Kansas history, defeating Republican Kincumbent Ron Todd in 1994, 58.6 percent to 41.4 percent. She ran for reelection in 1998 and easily defeated Republican challenger Bryan Riley, 59.9 to 40.1 percent. In the 2002 gubernatorial race, Sebelius defeated Republican state treasurer Tim Shallenburger, 52.9 to 45.1 percent. She won reelection in 2006 by a vote of 57.9 to 40.4 percent against her Republican challenger, state senator Jim Barnett.1 Sebelius never lost an election to public office in Kansas.2 Sebelius’s 2002 gubernatorial victory marked the first and only father-daughter pair to serve as governors in the United States. Her father, John Gilligan, was Democratic governor of Ohio from 1971 to 1975. Sebelius’s gubernatorial leadership style was one of bipartisanship, as her Democratic Party was always in the minority in the state legislature.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination
    The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination Thomas R. Marshall, University of Texas at Arlington The 1996 presidential nominations process will not begin with the first state primaries and caucuses. By January 1996 the candidates had already spent millions of dollars and thousands of days campaigning during the "in­ visible primary." The 1996 nominations race features several new prac­ tices—such as the front-loading of delegate-selection events, and the re- emergence of Washington insiders as the early GOP leaders. For the first time since 1964 the Democrat Party did not face a spirited nominations race. This article reviews the prenomination season for the 1996 presidential race with evidence available by early January 1996. Public Opinion Public opinion remained relatively stable during the 1995 "invisible primary," just as it typically has in recent presidential contests.1 Heavy spending in key primary and caucus states, debates among the candidates, and the entry and exit of candidates all failed to move public opinion polls during 1995. In the absence of saturation media coverage and media labeling of "winners" and "losers" in the early caucuses and primaries, few dramatic poll shifts appeared. The Republicans Throughout 1995, the Gallup Poll reported only slight changes in the first-choice preferences of self-identified Republicans and independents leaning Republicans. Between April 1995 and January 1996, front-runner Bob Dole’s support varied only from a low of 45 percent to a high of 51 percent. Support for Senator Phil Gramm varied only from a low of seven percent to a high of 13 percent.

  • 48 Kansas History “You Have to Like PEOPLE”
    Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2008): 48–67 48 Kansas History “you have TO LIKE PEOPLE” A Conversation with Former Governor William H. Avery edited by Bob Beatty William Henry Avery, born on a farm near Wakefield, Kansas, on August 11, 1911, served as the state’s thirty- seventh chief executive, from January 11, 1965, to January 9, 1967. Although his gubernatorial service was short, Avery’s outgoing personality and ability to win elections made him a central figure in Kansas Republican Party politics throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Avery first ran for the Kansas House of Representatives in 1950, but his political career really began years earlier when he was a leader of local opposition to the U.S. Corps of Engineers’s damming of the Republican River in their attempt to stop the disastrous flooding that had plagued eastern Kansas for years. Avery’s stake in the opposition was personal—the proposed dam would destroy the farmhouse his father, Herman W. Avery, built and in which he had grown up. He was never able to halt construction of the dam, but his fervent efforts not only led to his election to two terms in the state legislature (1951–1955), but also propelled him into the U.S. Congress, where he served from 1955 until 1965. Unable to stop the Tuttle Creek Dam and Milford Reservoir and finally frustrated with being a Republican in the Democratic-dominated U.S. House of Representatives of the early 1960s, Avery gave up his seat to come back to Kansas and run for governor in 1964.
