The thought apparently was to highlight within an issue framework, not only the chaotic and contentious democratic contest, but to point out the insipid, petty and self-serving manner in which the debate has been conducted. The attack themes presumably were to be directed primarily at Mondale and Hart before the convention and at the nominee following the convention. The above described approach was discussed Thursday and Friday {5/31/84 & 6/1/84) during a meeting with myself, Ed Rollins, Lee Atwater and Jim Lake, and then myself and the Tuesday Team.

  • Reputational Effects in Legislative Elections: Measuring the Impact of Repeat Candidacy and Interest Group Endorsements
    REPUTATIONAL EFFECTS IN LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS: MEASURING THE IMPACT OF REPEAT CANDIDACY AND INTEREST GROUP ENDORSEMENTS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by James Brendan Kelley December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Robin Kolodny, Advisory Chair, Political Science Ryan J. Vander Wielen, Examination Chair, Political Science Kevin Arceneaux, Political Science Joshua Klugman, Sociology and Psychology ABSTRACT This dissertation consists of three projects related to reputational effects in legislative elections. Building on the candidate emergence, repeat candidates and congressional donor literatures, these articles use novel datasets to further our understanding of repeat candidacy and the impact of interest group endorsements on candidate contributions. The first project examines the conditions under which losing state legislative candidates will appear on the successive general election ballot. Broadly speaking, I find a good deal of support for the notion that candidates respond rationally to changes in their political environment when determining whether to run again. The second project aims to measure the impact of repeat candidacy on state legislative election outcomes. Ultimately I find a reward/penalty structure through which losing candidates for lower chamber seats that perform well in their first election have a slight advantage over first- time candidates in their repeat elections. The final chapter of this dissertation examines the relationship between interest group endorsements and individual contributions for 2010 U.S. Senate candidates. The results of this chapter suggest that some interest group endorsements lead to increased campaign contributions, as compared to unendorsed candidates, but that others do not.

  • Manchin Leads Capito, Others for Full Senate Term
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 28, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected] OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Manchin leads Capito, others for full Senate term Raleigh, N.C. – The special election to fill the late Robert Byrd’s long-held U.S. Senate seat last fall was a nailbiter that ended in a ten-point rout in the end. In PPP’s latest poll of next fall’s race for a full six-year term in that seat, Joe Manchin is faring at least as well now as he did in the unusually hostile election for Democrats that was 2010. The Republican most frequently touted as a tough opponent for Manchin is Rep. Shelley Moore Capito. But Manchin leads her by a similar margin as PPP’s January poll, 48-40 now, versus 50-41 then. If Capito declines again to run for higher office, and 2010 opponent John Raese seeks a rematch, Manchin would prevail this time by a 61-29 landslide, up from 60-31 in the previous survey. The incumbent also tops new Rep. David McKinley by a 63-25 margin, an improvement from his 57-28 spread in January. Capito is beloved by independents, beating Manchin 57-22 with them, but they make up only 10% of the electorate. Manchin gets 40% of the vote just by earning two-thirds of Democrats. Against the other two, that rises to 76-77%, and Manchin also wins independents by double digits and takes 35-39% of the GOP to their 50-55%.

Washburn W.E. “Ned” Chilton III, over nearly three decades years as the third-generation owner/publisher of the Charleston Gazette, West Virginia’s largest newspaper, developed a philosophy of journalism called “Sustained Outrage,” which stressed ongoing investigative reports about and direct commentary on society’s major social and commercial issues. These efforts included a five-year campaign to end the “ghoul system” in the state; crafting a strategy of suing lawyers who sued him for libel; successfully suing for open records; becoming the first in the nation to wrest his own files as well as the newspaper’s from the Federal Bureau of Investigation; using his own reporters to investigate his fellow publishers in West Virginia; and many other crusades.

  • The 2010 US Senate Elections in 140 Characters Or Less an Analysis of How Candidates Use Twitter As a Campaign Tool
    The 2010 US Senate Elections in 140 Characters or Less An Analysis of How Candidates Use Twitter as a Campaign Tool Steven Haber Professor DeGregorio Professor Cowell-Meyers April 2011 Haber | 1 Abstract Much of the recent changes in campaigning have been in how politicians use the Internet and social media. The 2010 elections saw candidates use Twitter as a standard campaign tool for the first time. This study examines how the 71 Senate candidates on Twitter used it in 2010, analyzing over 12,000 “tweets” from Senate candidates in the sixty days prior to the election. The results show that overall, candidates used Twitter to advertise the most, while interacting with other Twitter users and taking issue positions the least. Winning candidates tended to post fewer tweets but did so for different reasons. Overall, candidates use their Twitter accounts more as RSS feeds for their campaign than as a means for more interactive and direct conversation with constituents. Haber | 2 Introduction American political campaigns by nature are incredibly competitive. Many races are often decided by a few percentage points, and candidates constantly look for the slightest advantages in a given race. Oftentimes candidates seize upon new technologies to better reach voters to gain such an advantage. Historically, the candidates that quickly learned how to use radio, television, the 24-hour news cycle, the Internet, and Web 2.0 were the most successful. The most recent example of how politicians use new technology is their use of Twitter. Twitter is one of the newest social media platforms that has become widely popular today.
