The last time the state voted Democratic was in 1976, when it went for Jimmy Carter, and only two of the nine members of its Congressional delegation are Democrats. Not surprisingly, the presidential candidates have left the state largely alone. Neither Bush-Cheney nor Kerry-Edwards has run ads and Kerry has yet to visit the state [as of 10/1/04] The Nader Factor: Nader is on the ballot as an Independent.

From its Governor, to its Senators, to its sole House Representative, Republicans run the 49th state. Though neither candidate visited the state nor ran ads there, recent polls report that Bush is safely leading Kerry. Of interest is this year’s Senate contest, which could be one of the most competitive in the nation. Democrats have not seen an Alaskan Senate seat since 1974, but former Governor Tony Knowles’ rising poll numbers have put this solid red seat into play. Knowles is challenging appointed Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski (appointed by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski), whose popularity is slowly sinking. On Nov. 2, Alaskans will also be asked to vote on an initiative that would treat marijuana like alcohol, removing “civil and criminal penalties under state law for persons 21 years or older who grow, use, sell or give away marijuana or hemp products.” This initiative is the first state attempt to regulate marijuana like alcohol, and interest on both sides of the issue is expected to be high. Ralph Nader, fielded by the Populist Party in Alaska, has about 5% in latest polls. Other third-party presidential candidates on Alaska's ballot are David Cobb of the Green Party, Michael Peroutka of the Alaskan Independence Party and Michael Badnarik of the Alaska Libertarian Party. The Nader Factor: Nader is on the ballot as the Populist Party candidate.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

Often referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations. Over the last 29 years, the TTCSP has developed and led a series of global initiatives that have helped bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environmental issues, information and society, poverty alleviation, and healthcare and global health.
