october 7, 2010 Book Talk: Boiling Mad: Inside Tea Party America Kate Zernike, national correspondent for The New York Times and author of Boiling Mad: Inside Tea Party America, spoke about tracing the growth of the new movement and signed copies of her book. She described the Tea Party as not a single organization, but a conservative populist movement with disdain for elites. Its members believe they are “fighting to retain ‘the real America’ and ‘take our country back.’” Their perception is that they work hard while someone else is getting away with something for free. Zernike noted that the challenge for Tea Partiers would be transitioning from mobilization to governance.

november 3, 2010 The Morning After: Reading the Tea Leaves Experts, students, and community members gathered for the semi-annual discussion of the previous day’s election, moderated by Institute associate director John Weingart. Panelists included Mark Alexander, professor of law at Seton Hall University and policy director for the 2008 Obama for President Campaign; Ross Baker, professor of political science at Rutgers;Herb Jackson, Washington correspondent for The Record (Bergen County); Peter J. McDonough, adjunct professor, Eagleton Institute of Politics and communi- cations director for Gov.

I especially with Skaggs (center, with bow tie) and members of the Holland family, liked the discussion about the interplay  including Betty Holland (center left), Eagleton Fellow ’58 and widow of the late Arthur Holland.

December 14, 2010 A Fireside Chat with Governors Thomas H. Kean and Mario M. Cuomo Former Governors Mario Cuomo (NY) and Tom Kean (NJ) shared a laugh during their visit to the Eagleton Institute for a fireside chat in connection with the Kean archive of the Center on the American Governor. The two engaged in an amicable and anecdote-laden discussion of how they worked together across state and party lines to serve the public. Each spoke admiringly of the other. Asked what advice he might give his son, Tom Kean Jr., New Jersey’s current senate minority leader, Governor Kean suggested that Mario Cuomo would not be a bad example to follow.

february 8, 2011 Book Talk: Why Iowa? David P. Redlawsk, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling and professor of political science, discussed the book he co-authored with Caroline Tolbert and Todd Donovan, Why Iowa?: How Caucuses and Sequential Elections Improve the Presidential Nominating Process. The authors argue that despite problems and limitations, the Iowa caucuses provide significant benefits in the existing presidential nominating system.

february 2, 2011 Moral Majority to Moral Minority: Politics in a De-Christianizing America New York Times op-ed columnist Ross Douthat answered questions and exchanged ideas with Eagleton students after his talk Moral Majority to Moral Minority: Politics in a De-Christianizing America, part of the series “It’s ALL Politics.” Douthat (center) discussed the consequences of what he views as the weakening of traditional institutional American churches and the concomitant rise of evangelical mega-churches and other spiritual movements, including what he described as “moralistic therapeutic deism.”

Bush, offered glimpses into White House life and the McCain/Palin campaign, as well as her White House novel, Eighteen Acres. The novel features a woman president, and Wallace’s up-close observations of women like Barbara Bush, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton informed her creation of strong fictional women characters.

april 7, 2011 Preparedness, Pandemic, and Political Change Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News’ senior health and medical editor and former acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, offered his perspectives onPreparedness, Pandemic, and Political Change, as part of the series “It’s ALL Politics.” While trained as a physician and experienced as a public servant, Besser was not used to being “political.” His role as acting CDC director forced him to confront issues such as the H1N1 virus and sharpened his awareness of how to maintain scientific integrity even while recognizing political pressures inherent in governmental involvement with health concerns.

center on the American Governor

eventeen United States presidents have risen to the nation’s top elected post after serving as gov- Sernors, and many current governors harbor national aspirations. The role of the governor is itself crucial, with the states often serving as laboratories for broadly applicable poli- cy initiatives. Yet no U.S. academic center focuses attention on the critical role of chief executives in the states. To fill that significant gap, Eagleton is developing the Center on the American Governor (CAG, formerly the Rutgers Pro- gram on the Governor). A core team of Institute faculty and senior staff is shaping this unique national resource, building Saladin Ambar, Visiting Assistant Professor at Lehigh University, talked with former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar during the CAG advisory group meeting. on Eagleton’s 40+ years of studying state-level politics and gov- ernment. CAG will identify and address important, often un- examined, themes related to executive leadership in the states. n CAG hosted a conversation with former Governors Mario While the scope of the center will be national, its early Cuomo (NY) and Tom Kean (NJ), moderated by Institute focus has been creating an online record of the administrations director Ruth B.

The Center on the American Governor is developing a major research proposal to conduct the first-ever nationwide study of voters’ knowledge and expectations regarding gov- ernors. The study will also examine how citizens make their voting decisions in gubernatorial elections. In preparation for the proposal, Eagleton conducted a pilot study in June 2011 of New Jersey and Indiana voters, looking at how they view the roles of governors and presidents.

Veteran New Jersey political journalist Michael Aron has conducted many of the interviews for the CAG archives.

Through research, YPPP works to improve understanding of the forces that affect the engagement of Millennials in the political process and in their communities. At the same time, linking our research to our educational and public service programs, we strive to gen- erate informed and active citizens who will be motivated to participate in American democracy. YPPP is directed by Dr. Eliza- beth Matto, assistant research professor. During the 2010-2011 academic year, YPPP’s mission was addressed through two core programs: Rutgers students worked with New Brunswick High School students at the day-long RU Ready RU Ready™ leadership conference at Eagleton.

The RU Voting website served as a vital resource for students interested in registering, educating themselves, and voting on Election Day. RU Voting’s efforts were enhanced with the initiation of a longitudinal research project, conducted by Matto and a team of un- dergraduate researchers, designed to better understand the con- tours of students’ political and civic engagement and the attitudes underlying such behavior. This research component will inform RU Voting’s outreach, linking the practice of politics to the study of politics, and will serve as an invaluable educational experience for Rutgers students. Matto led a team of undergraduate research- ers, including two Aresty research assistants, who conducted a series of focus groups of Rutgers students.

Student comments on the program include: n In an era in our history marked by severe polarization… we as a group, with views at times diametrically opposed, learned to voice our steadfast convic- tions while at the same time appreciating an equally plausible alternative to the issue. Professor Bert Levine brought Undergraduate Associates to n Whereas past internships—though enjoyable in their own right—have of- visit the State House in Trenton. ten taught me where my interests do not lie, my experience …[through the Undergraduate Associates Program]… has reaffirmed my passion for the environment and commitment to public service while sparking a desire to work for the federal government. n T he Associates program introduced me to a group of passionate and in- formed students and faculty. I was exposed to both politcal theory as well as practical application. The transition from theory and academics to practical application was truly valuable as it strengthened my understanding as to how politics actually works and how someone can turn an interest in politics into a career. Furthermore, the guest lecturers exposed me to various vocations within the world of politics. All of these components have contributed to my decision to pursue a career in federal politics following graduation. Eagleton Fellows met in Trenton to learn about the state budget from State Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff and Office of Political Campaigning Course Legislative Services budget officer David Rosen. The Eagleton Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Politi- cal Science, offers a popular undergraduate course on Political Campaign- ing during the fall semester. This year, the class focused on New Jersey’s congressional campaigns as case studies for examining the techniques, tactics, events, and media coverage involved in these elections. For the second time the course was co-taught by the bipartisan duo of Mike Du- Haime and Maggie Moran, two of New Jersey’s most respected young campaign leaders and both Rutgers graduates. They were assisted by po- litical science Ph.D. student David Andersen. Many past students in the course – like DuHaime himself – have gone on to careers in politics. DuHaime is among the most accomplished political operatives in the country and was recently named by Time magazine as one of the “40 un- Eagleton Undergraduate Associate Alex Cohen spoke to classmates der 40 rising stars of American politics.” He was the lead strategist for at their year-end gathering. Governor Chris Christie’s gubernatorial campaign. Moran, a seasoned political operative, is the former campaign manager and deputy chief of staff for Governor Jon Corzine. She also served as state director of his U.S. Senate office in New Jersey and in the same capacity for Senator Frank Lautenberg. DuHaime and Moran brought key players to class from the state and national political stage including candidates, consultants, pollsters, jour- nalists, lobbyists, elected officials, officeholders and operatives who of- fered valuable frontline insights and real-world perspectives on political campaigning. Among the highlights this year were visits to class by Gov- ernor Chris Christie, Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and Environ- mental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson. Besides access to insider views of the campaigns in progress, the stu- dents had the opportunity to experience their teachers working as a team together with respect and good humor despite strong political differences.

Eagleton Fellows gathered with faculty and staff to mark the end of their Fellowship year.
