  • The Rise and Impact of Fact-Checking in U.S. Campaigns by Amanda Wintersieck a Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment O
    The Rise and Impact of Fact-Checking in U.S. Campaigns by Amanda Wintersieck A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kim Fridkin, Chair Mark Ramirez Patrick Kenney ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 ABSTRACT Do fact-checks influence individuals' attitudes and evaluations of political candidates and campaign messages? This dissertation examines the influence of fact- checks on citizens' evaluations of political candidates. Using an original content analysis, I determine who conducts fact-checks of candidates for political office, who is being fact- checked, and how fact-checkers rate political candidates' level of truthfulness. Additionally, I employ three experiments to evaluate the impact of fact-checks source and message cues on voters' evaluations of candidates for political office. i DEDICATION To My Husband, Aza ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the many individuals who helped me with this dissertation and throughout my graduate career. First, I would like to thank all the members of my committee, Professors Kim L. Fridkin, Patrick Kenney, and Mark D. Ramirez. I am especially grateful to my mentor and committee chair, Dr. Kim L.

  • Virginia Influencers
    VirginiaInfluencers he once reliably red state of Virginia has developed the hint of a purplish hue and become something of a swing state. TThe GOP has come back with a vengeance over the last two years, yet in the preceding two decades, Ol’ Virginny became the first state to select an African American as governor, elected two Demo- cratic chief executives, and helped send Barack Obama to the White House. Indeed, the 2008 election marked the first time in forty-four years that the state awarded its electoral votes to a Democratic presi- dential candidate. While that contest ended one trend, the next year’s election con- tinued another one. Since 1977, Virginia has elected its one-term gov- ernor from the party opposite that of the sitting president. And, due to its unique election cycle—Virginia holds its gubernatorial contests in off-off years—voters can express their shifting sentiments at the polls every year. Here is our list of the most influential political players in Virginia— with no elected officials allowed. VirginiaInfluencers Top 10 Democrats Timothy M.

  • The Real Center of Power
    c01.qxd 5/31/06 9:00 AM Page 11 CHAPTER 1 The Real Center of Power Republicans have now won 7 of the last 10 presidential elections. We hold 55 Senate seats, 232 House seats, and 28 governorships. These facts underscore how much progress we have enjoyed in the last four decades, and it has been a remarkable rise for our party and our move- ment. But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant party when its thinking becomes ossified, when its energy begins to drain, when an entitlement mentality takes over, and when political power becomes an end in itself rather than a means to achieve the greater good. —KARL ROVE, ADDRESS TO THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL ACTION CONFERENCE, RONALD REAGAN BUILDING, WASHINGTON, D.C., FEBRUARY 17, 2005 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL he security guard nodded as the stream of visitors trooped through the wood-paneled lobby at 1920 L Street in down- town Washington.
