  • 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.

Dissertation Advisors: Stephen Ansolabehere and James M. Snyder, Jr. Shiro Kuriwaki The Swing Voter Paradox: Electoral Politics in a Nationalized Era Abstract With each successive election since at least 1994, congressional elections in the United States have transitioned toward nationalized two-party government. Fewer vot- ers split their tickets for different parties between President and Congress. Regional blocs and incumbency voting — a key feature of U.S. elections in the latter 20th cen- tury — appear to have given way to strong party discipline among candidates and nationalized partisanship among voters. Observers of modern American politics are therefore tempted to write off the importance of the swing voter, defined here as vot- ers who are indifferent between the two parties and thus likely to split their ticket or switch their party support.

Moore In my dissertation, I analyze the motivations behind a country's decision to call for the removal of another state's government, a serious challenge to state sovereignty and non-intervention principles. I construct a model explaining the initiation and escalation of these “regime claims” in the Americas. I find that states are motivated by two factors: (1) threats to an otherwise acceptable status quo, and (2) the opportunity to improve an unacceptable set of bilateral relations. Additionally, countries calculate the probability that they can oust another leader with a claim or militariZed action. I use logistic regression techniques to test a series of hypotheses derived from this theoretical model, finding that threats and opportunities drive claim initiation, but evaluations of the probability for success determine whether countries militariZe such claims.

A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by GRANT BURNETTE LEFEVER August 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Grant B. LeFever ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Until July 2000, three Confederate battle flags flew at the South Carolina State House—one in each Legislative chamber and a third on top of the State House dome, on the same pole and just below the U.S. flag and the state’s Palmetto flag. A legislative compromise that year removed the flags from the State House to a prominent site 100 yards away in front of the building, next to a memorial to South Carolina’s Confederate dead. Though it only moved the flag a short distance and to an arguably more visible location, the 2000 compromise was the culmination of over a decade of intense debate that convulsed the state’s political culture and deeply divided South Carolinians.
