At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

  • 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 ....................................................................................................................

  • Introduction Since the 1950S, New Hampshire Has Gained a Level Of
    Introduction Since the 1950s, New Hampshire has gained a level of political notoriety and media attention greatly disproportionate to the size of its population and to the modest four votes it holds in the Electoral College. On paper, at least, these facts, filtered through a first-past-the-post electoral system, should ensure the ‘Granite State’ receives little serious attention from the major parties in presidential elections, except in extremely close races where voter intentions are fluid and nominees must scramble for every vote. The state is also comparatively low yield in terms of convention delegates and, until recently, had a longstanding reputation for rock-ribbed Republicanism, with the GOP dominating executive offices, the state legislature and national congressional delegations. Combined, these factors make it all the more surprising that the voting intentions and political culture of a small, conservative New England state have been national talking points for years. In the early twenty-first century, New Hampshire continues to fascinate reporters and political scientists, not only for its controversial ‘first-in-the-nation’ primary but also for an apparent marked change in its partisan make-up, which has converted it into a key ‘swing state’ in presidential elections. New Hampshire has occupied a unique position in electoral politics since 1952. Changes to the rules governing presidential nomination contests, combined with the rapid growth of media coverage of those contests, propelled it into the political limelight. In the pre-reform nomination system, where closed caucuses and behind-the-scenes bargaining determined convention outcomes, New Hampshire’s early position in the primary calendar meant little, other than allowing presidential hopefuls such as Franklin Roosevelt to test public opinion and state party activists without serious long-term risk.

    Christina Obiajulu Thesis January 032011 Lyrical Insight: Looking at Changes in AA VE through Slave Spirituals, Blues and Rap Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the validity of using song lyrics as a source of data to analyze AA VE trends. In this thesis I tracked prominent features in African American Vernacular English (AA VE) such as absence of a copula, verbal -s omission, and double negatives, from slavery to the present, while using song lyrics. I examined lyrics from slave spirituals (18th century), blues lyrics (1920s and 1930s) and current rap lyrics. I looked at music because it is a centerpiece of black culture and has been a constant vehicle of expression, unlike other forms of more traditionally used data. I tracked the rate of occurrence then compared the rates across the different genres. I found that -s omission seemed to be suppressed in blues lyrics, negative concord occurred in all three genres and that copula absence only appeared in rap lyrics. These findings were consistent with findings from previous studies (Bailey et al. (1989) Kortman (2004) and Pullum (1999), Myhill (1995),Bailey (1987),Wolfram (1969),Ash and Myhill (1986) Labov (1995), Poplack (2005), Rickford (1998; 1999) ), which used interviews, early slave recordings and manuscripts as sources for data collection. Because these findings reflect similar findings as my own, my hypothesis that songs can be an appropriate representation of trends in spoken AA VE, is supported. I. Introduction When one thinks of slavery, the first images that come to mind are those of oppression, injustice and a general failing of humanity.
