My grandmother was a civil rights leader and often spoke on issues, much like Fannie Lou Hamer who co-founded the Mississippi-based Freedom Democratic Party—I was molded in a political environment. On June 5th, when U.S. Representative Keith Ellison decided to vacate his 5th Congressional District seat, I was at-once taken aback and intrigued. Taken aback because I had cheered for him in his endeavors, but intrigued by the political possibility, now, to espouse issues that I‘d felt needed to be discussed in the national town hall.

All of the coverage has been very positive, of course. Ross [Star Tribune Online Opinion] Published Saturday, November 9, 1996 Editorial : Fritz Mondale won't be idle long It was a big story on the networks Friday. Walter Mondale, former senator, former vice president, former Democratic presidential candidate, is resigning his post as ambassador to Japan. The word spread differently in Minnesota Thursday night: Fritz is coming home . (Minnesota news organizations got the scoop because the ambassador himself called them first.) No one who knows Walter F. Mondale was surprised by either the news or how it was variously told. This genuine VIP, this significant personage in the life and policy of the nation and the world for a quarter-century, is still Fritz from Elmore and south Minneapolis, well known and much admired in his home state. On Thursday, Mondale didn't describe himself as "from" Minnesota. He never has. He said, "I am a Minnesotan, from the bottom to the top, or is it the top to the bottom? .

  • Thomas Kottke, MD Dominique A. Tobbell, Ph.D
    Thomas Kottke, MD Narrator Dominique A. Tobbell, Ph.D. Interviewer ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT In 1970, the University of Minnesota’s previously autonomous College of Pharmacy and School of Dentistry were reorganized, together with the Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Public Health, and the University Hospitals, into a centrally organized and administered Academic Health Center (AHC). The university’s College of Veterinary Medicine was also closely aligned with the AHC at this time, becoming formally incorporated into the AHC in 1985. The development of the AHC made possible the coordination and integration of the education and training of the health care professions and was part of a national trend which saw academic health centers emerge as the dominant institution in American health care in the last third of the 20th century. AHCs became not only the primary sites of health care education, but also critical sites of health sciences research and health care delivery. The University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center Oral History Project preserves the personal stories of key individuals who were involved with the formation of the university’s Academic Health Center, served in leadership roles, or have specific insights into the institution’s history. By bringing together a representative group of figures in the history of the University of Minnesota’s AHC, this project provides compelling documentation of recent developments in the history of American health care education, practice, and policy. 2 Biographical Sketch Thomas Kottke was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on September 18, 1948.

  • Where Has the Jesse Voter Gone?
    Where Has the Jesse Voter Gone? Andrew Grossbach, Rusty Kath, Alicia Spencer, & Danielle Stuard Introduction Pundits were stunned and scholars were speechless when Jesse Ventura, a former professional wrestler, won the 1998 gubernatorial election in Minnesota. From the culmination of a number of factors, including a high midterm turnout (60.5%) with many of those ballots cast by first time voters, Ventura was able to win the governorship in 1998. In 2002, however, Ventura chose not to run for reelection. This paper asks the question, “Where did the Jesse voter go?” In an effort to resolve this puzzle, we must first figure out what drew voters to Ventura in 1998. The first section of our paper examines previous research and several possible hypotheses of Ventura’s success in 1998, including a move away from party identification, institutional factors such as Minnesota’s lenient registration laws, a high voter turnout, as well as aid from his well- known name and personality. The second part of the paper then evaluates these hypotheses in light of exit poll surveys done in November 2002. This paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings. Research on why people vote for a third party candidate1 suggests that this choice is typically based on their personal reaction to the individual candidate, not a personal identification with a third party. As Reiter and Walsh concluded in their study of three successful third-party campaigns, “Careful study of the electoral coalitions supporting (non-major-party candidates)…shows that they are not the product of an ‘alternative 1 For the purpose of this study, we define a third party as any party other than the Democratic or Republican Party.

As a candidate, Ventura created impressions of honesty with his straightforward, candid style; even his inaugural address was unscripted. As governor, however, Ventura came to rely on a team of speechwriters to help him meet his speaking demands. In this essay, I present an interview with one member of Ventura’s communications team, Steve LeBeau, who addresses the challenge of writing speeches for an unconventional client with a penchant for improvisation.

  • Rational Behavior and Information in Strategic Voting
    RATIONALITY AND INFORMATION IN STRATEGIC VOTING DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University By Andrew R. Tomlinson, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2001 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Herbert F. Weisberg, Adviser Professor Paul Allen Beck __________________________________ Adviser Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT In recent years, third parties and independent candidacies have become an important part of the American political system. Yet few of these parties or candidates have been able to win office. Strategic voting by supporters of third party and independent candidates often siphons off potential votes for those candidates, and leads to their loss. Much of the work that has been done on strategic voting leaves out some crucial elements of the voting process. In this dissertation I fill some of the gaps in the extant literature. Using data from the 1998 Gubernatorial election in Minnesota and the 1994 U.S. Senate election in Virginia, I show how the amount of strategic voting was drastically different in the two elections. I then use the Virginia data to model the vote choice of supporters of the third- place candidate with the correct, theoretically-based model. Next, I content analyze newspaper coverage of the two elections, in order to examine the role of the media in shaping the decision to vote strategically or sincerely. I find that there was more coverage of candidate negativity and more coverage of the horserace aspect of the campaign in Virginia than in Minnesota.
