  • Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-67, January 2012 Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates by Mark McKinnon Shorenstein Center Reidy Fellow, Fall 2011 Political Communications Strategist Vice Chairman Hill+Knowlton Strategies Research Assistant: Sacha Feinman © 2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

  • See Pulitzer Prize Winner Jon Meacham with Karl Rove! Date: May 8, 2018
    From: Mississippi Book Festival [email protected] Subject: See Pulitzer Prize Winner Jon Meacham with Karl Rove! Date: May 8, 2018 Jon Meacham Gets Candid with Karl Rove Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winning author, and Karl Rove, political strategist, author, and commentator, will discuss Meacham’s optimistic message for a divided America in his newest book, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, at the Mississippi Book Festival Aug. 18. The new work, in which he takes an encouraging look at the nation’s resilient past, is Meacham’s eighth book. Citing America’s current cultural and political rifts and the roles of past Presidents who guided the country through earlier difficult periods, Meacham draws on their challenges to make his case for hope for America’s present day, as well as its future. Meacham’s previous books include the New York Times bestseller biographies of George Herbert Walker Bush, Andrew Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson. A distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University, Meacham is a contributing writer to the New York Times Book Review, and a contributing editor of Time, and he has written for a number of other publications. He also regularly appears as a political commentator on several television talk shows. A former editor and vice president at Random House, he holds honorary doctorate degrees at more than a half dozen universities and colleges. “To know what has come before is to be armed against despair.” – JON MEACHAM— in "The Soul of America" Dubbed “The Architect” by President George W. Bush, Karl Rove was the chief strategist for both of Bush’s runs for the White House and served as Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor in the West Wing.

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.

  • The Last White Election?
    mike davis THE LAST WHITE ELECTION? ast september, while Bill Clinton was delighting the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte with his folksy jibe at Mitt Romney for wanting to ‘double up on the trickle down’, a fanatical adherent of Ludwig von Mises, wearing a villainous Lblack cowboy hat and accompanied by a gun-toting bodyguard, captured the national headquarters of the Tea Party movement in Washington, dc. The Jack Palance double in the Stetson was Dick Armey. As House Majority Leader in 1997 he had participated in a botched plot, instigated by Republican Whip Tom DeLay and an obscure Ohio Congressman named John Boehner, to topple House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Now Armey was attempting to wrest total control of FreedomWorks, the organization most responsible for repackaging rank-and-file Republican rage as the ‘Tea Party rebellion’ as well as training and coordinating its activists.1 Tea Party Patriots—a national network with several hundred affiliates—is one of its direct offshoots. As FreedomWorks’ chairperson, Armey symbolized an ideological continuity between the Republican con- gressional landslides of 1994 and 2010, the old ‘Contract with America’ and the new ‘Contract from America’. No one was better credentialed to inflict mortal damage on the myth of conservative solidarity. Only in December did the lurid details of the coup leak to the press. According to the Washington Post, ‘the gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey sus- pended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.’2 The chief target was Matt Kibbe, the organization’s president and co-author with Armey of the best-selling Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto.

En faisant cela, je vais au-delà des arguments communément entendus sur la question de savoir si les médias sociaux et leurs diverses fonctionnalités aident ou entravent la mobilisation et l'action collective, pour la simple raison que les médias sociaux défient des caractérisations aussi faciles que des relations de cause à effet. Tout comme les mouvements sociaux, les médias sociaux ont des frontières poreuses et des propriétés malléables.

  • AUSTIN REPUBLICAN WOMEN April 2010 Volume 2, Number 3
    AUSTIN REPUBLICAN WOMEN April 2010 Volume 2, Number 3 !$#" President's Message Dear Friends, The last two weeks have really been exciting! A large number of ARW ladies went to hear Newt Gingrich speak on April 15 at an event sponsored by the Austin Tea Party. Greg and Judy Holloway were instrumental in arranging this inspiring event. Newt has signed the “Contract From America,” which is included in this newsletter, and urges all Republican candidates running for office this year to use this statement as a basis for their campaign issues. He also called on us to put forth a united front—Republicans, Tea Party supporters, and all conservatives working together to win our country back. Newt emphasized that if we go a third party route or fail to be united behind our Republican candidates, we will be throwing away a great opportunity and handing the win to the Democrats. On the following Monday, a large group of ARW ladies and some of their husbands went to hear Karl Rove speak at UT at an event sponsored by the College Republicans. What a fantastic person and speaker! Karl handled the protesters and hecklers skillfully and gave us an impressive and detailed critique of Obamacare and the real costs of this shell game. Following his speech, Karl signed copies of his new book and posed for pictures with his "fans.” It is now time to get to work by supporting and helping our Republican candidates. I have information regarding how to organize events in your own neighborhoods, which I will send out in the near future.
