  • Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State?
    Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State? A Thesis Presented to The Division of History and Social Sciences Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Daniel Krantz Toffey May 2007 Approved for the Division (Political Science) Paul Gronke Acknowledgements Acknowledgements make me a bit uneasy, considering that nothing is done in isolation, and that there are no doubt dozens—perhaps hundreds—of people responsible for instilling within me the capability and fortitude to complete this thesis. Nonetheless, there are a few people that stand out as having a direct and substantial impact, and those few deserve to be acknowledged. First and foremost, I thank my parents for giving me the incredible opportunity to attend Reed, even in the face of staggering tuition, and an uncertain future—your generosity knows no bounds (I think this thesis comes out to about $1,000 a page.) I’d also like to thank my academic and thesis advisor, Paul Gronke, for orienting me towards new horizons of academic inquiry, and for the occasional swift kick in the pants when I needed it. In addition, my first reader, Tamara Metz was responsible for pulling my head out of the data, and helping me to consider the “big picture” of what I was attempting to accomplish. I also owe a debt of gratitude to the Charles McKinley Fund for providing access to the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, which added considerable depth to my analyses, and to the Fautz-Ducey Public Policy fellowship, which made possible the opportunity that inspired this work.

  • Joe Lieberman Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 7, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Lieberman in Serious Trouble for 2012 Raleigh, N.C. – Joe Lieberman managed to leave his old party in 2006 after losing the Democratic primary to liberal insurgent Ned Lamont and still comfortably win re- election as an independent in a three-way contest. But after endorsing John McCain over Barack Obama in 2008, Connecticut voters may finally have had enough. Two-thirds of those likely to cast their ballots this fall are looking forward to voting Lieberman out of office in the next election—including 70% of Democrats, 61% of Republicans, and 63% of independents—while only a quarter are committed to re-electing him. When stacked against 5th District Congressman Chris Murphy as the Democratic candidate and two different Republicans, Lieberman fails to get more than 20% of the vote in a three-way or a third against just Murphy. Head-to-head, Murphy leads Lieberman, 47-33, winning independents 41-33, pulling 70% of Democrats, and holding Lieberman to 59% of Republicans. With Peter Schiff as the Republican nominee, Murphy gets 39% to Schiff’s 25% and Lieberman’s 19%. At 24%, Lieberman’s GOP support is less than half of Schiff’s, and Murphy still gets 14% of Republicans. Lieberman also earns only 18% of independents’ votes, and Murphy tops Schiff, 32-28. Outgoing Governor Jodi Rell would be a stronger GOP choice than Schiff, closing the Murphy advantage to 37-29 and bringing Lieberman down to 17%.

  • Countherhistory July 2013 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz
    CountHerhistory July 2013 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz GovernHers: Twenty-five states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have elected thirty-six women as governors of their state. The six of those states which have elected more than one woman governor, their cumulative fifteen women governors profiled below, are: Arizona 4, New Hampshire 3, Texas 2, Connecticut 2, Washington 2, and Kansas 2. Arizona tops the list, having elected four women governors. Rose Mofford, as Arizona’s first woman governor, returned stability to state politics after she was sworn into office in 1988 following the tumultuous impeachment of her predecessor, Evan Mecham. She did not run for reelection. Jane Dee Hull, Arizona’s second woman governor, completed the term of another male governor dishonorably removed from office when Governor Fife Symington was convicted of a felony and had to resign. Hull was sworn into office in 1997 by the first woman U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, herself an Arizonian. Hull’s successful reelection in 1998 was historic because for the the first (and last) time in the 224-year history of the United States all five of the top elected executive offices in one state were held by women: Hull; Betsey Bayless, secretary of state; Janet Napolitano, attorney general; Carol Springer, treasurer; and Lisa Graham Keegan, Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction. Limited to eight consecutive years in office, Hull was constitutionally barred from running for a second full term in 2002 and was succeeded by Janet Napolitano. Janet Napolitano was Arizona's third woman governor from 2003 to 2009.
