  • White House Transition Interview – Mclarty, Thomas, Chief of Staff
    White House Interview Program DATE: November 16, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: THOMAS F. “MACK” McLARTY INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar [Disc 1 of 1] TM: —and the National Journal was running a story. They sent me, I think, three articles they’d done on other chiefs of staff, including John Sununu. And I was struck that one of the articles had Sununu’s day, and how many appointments he had changed; and he’d gotten there are 6:30; his aides had gotten there at 5:30. Frankly, [it was] a more intense schedule than we had. That was under President [George] Bush, who was following [Ronald] Reagan; you had less of a transition, had less of a legislative agenda in terms of volume. I’m not saying that he’s right or wrong. MK: Right. TM: So I guess I took some measure of comfort in that, that that was just the nature of the proverbial beast. You do your best to make something that is unwieldy and unpredictable go as orderly and smoothly as you can. MK: I guess one is always at the mercy of events. TM: To some extent. Now tell me a bit about yourself. I’ve read your materials. MK: My area of expertise is, as I was saying, in the White House and the press in the past. I wrote a book with a co-author that came out in the Reagan years called Portraying the President that deals with the relationship between the White House and the press. I guess in that work and others I have been interested in watching the relationship and just getting in and seeing how things work.

  • Ausgabe 5 Vom 23. Februar 2004
    Verantwortlich: Dr. Dieter Dettke, Redaktion: Ursula Soyez A m e r i c a A l e r t Informationsservice des Washingtoner Büros der FES Ausgabe 5/2004 – 23. Februar 2004 Howard Dean: Das Ende einer Kandidatur...und auch seines politischen Einflusses? Howard Dean, der einstige Frontrunner der Demokratischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten, ist ausgestiegen. Er “bewirbt sich nicht mehr aktiv um das Präsidentenamt“, wie er nach der verlorenen Primary in Wisconsin am 18. Februar verlauten ließ. Das Ende kam damit überraschend schnell, aber nicht ganz unerwartet. Dean konnte in den vergangenen sechs Wochen keinen der 18 Vorwahlkämpfe und Caucuses für sich entscheiden. Was Anfang Januar noch wie eine sicher geglaubte Kandidatur für den früheren Gouverneur von Vermont aussah, entpuppte sich bereits beim ersten Caucus in Iowa am 19. Januar diesen Jahres als Enttäuschung. Dean schnitt als Dritter hinter seinen Konkurrenten Kerry und Edwards überraschend schlecht ab und konnte sich von dieser Niederlage in der Folgezeit nicht mehr erholen. Damit hat der Demokrat, der als erster seine Kandidatur um das Amt des amerikanischen Präsidenten im Mai 2002 angekündigt hatte, einen der schnellsten politischen Abstiege in der Geschichte Amerikas erlebt. Anfang Januar war er nicht nur der “Liebling“ der Medien, sondern auch klarer Spitzenreiter in Umfragen und beim Einwerben von Wahlkampfspenden. Aber seine Kampagne hatte ihren Höhepunkt bereits im Dezember 2002 erreicht, als der frühere Vizepräsident Al Gore seine Unterstützung für Dean angekündigt hatte. In der Folge gaben auch Gewerkschaften und verschiedene Senatoren Dean ihre Stimme, aber all das konnte seine Niederlage im Staat Wisconsin am 17. Februar nicht verhindern, den er zuvor als “must-win-state“ bezeichnet hatte und in den alle noch verfügbaren Wahlkampf-Ressourcen geflossen waren.

  • The Whole World Is Networking: Crafting Networked Politics from Howard Dean to Barack Obama
    The Whole World is Networking: Crafting Networked Politics from Howard Dean to Barack Obama Daniel Kreiss Ph.D. Candidate Department of Communication Stanford University Paper presented at the session “Artifacts, Institutions, and Practices in the Production of Contemporary U.S. Politics.” Society for Social Studies of Science Annual Meeting, Washington, D.C. October 29, 2009. Kreiss, The Whole World is Networking In the classic The Whole World is Watching Todd Gitlin argued that by the early 1970s the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and with it much of the New Left, had come apart at the seams under the gaze of the mass media.i The professional press had extraordinary power to frame the movement on its own terms, focusing on highly symbolic forms of protest such as draft-card burning. In the process, the media not only shaped perceptions of the movement for the outside world, they came to define it and the grounds upon which it acted for its leadership and members alike. For Gitlin, this meant that there was no longer any representational space from which to critique the dominant power structure. Social movements were forcibly subsumed within a vast cultural industry and yet needed it to pursue their social objectives: “Just as people as workers have no voice in what they make, how they make it, or how the product is distributed and used, so do people as producers of meaning have no voice in what the media make of what they say or do, or in the context within which the media frame their activity”.ii The picture that Gitlin paints is unrecognizable to the activist who came of age in the digital era.

In all cases, however, the video of this interview represents the definitive version of the words spoken by interviewees. Q: The Dean campaign, as I understand it, was the seventh presidential you’d worked in. Is that right? TRIPPI: I think so. I -- let’s see: Kennedy, Mondale, uh, Gary Hart in ’87. Then ended up with Gephardt when Gary Hart got out of the race. That’s four. I did a couple of brief -- I’ve pretty much stopped doing presidential after ’88. But in ’92, I did do a quick stint with Doug Wilder’s potential campaign for president. He got out way before New Hampshire ever happened. And then, I helped a good friend -- Jerry Brown -- in the ninety-t-- in the rest of the ’92 election -- enough to put a scare into the Clinton campaign in Connecticut and Colorado and New York. And then, I think that was it till Dean. So, Dean was probably six or seventh -- Q: Mm-hmm, reading about you -- TRIPPI: -- depending on how you count. (laughs) Q: [00:01:00] Yeah.

  • The Campaign
    The Campaign Primary Contests Campaign Organization Bush Gore Conventions and VP Selection Bush Gore Political Communication Lab., Stanford University Primary Contests New York Times January 25, 2000; Page 1 Iowans Deliver Victory to Bush and Gore (Excerpts) By RICHARD L. BERKE DES MOINES, Jan. 24 -- Gov. George W. Bush of Texas and Vice President Al Gore were the clear victors in the Iowa presidential caucuses tonight as voters -- although just a few of them -- for the first time affirmed their positions as front-runners for their parties' nominations. In the Republican race, Steve Forbes, the wealthy publisher who had pumped millions into the race, finished second, roughly tripling the 10 percent he drew here four years ago. Alan Keyes, a former State Department official who, like Mr. Forbes had courted the religious right, was third, outpacing another religious conservative, Gary L. Bauer. Senator John McCain, who did not campaign here, won a handful of votes, and Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah came in last. With 41 percent of the vote, Mr. Bush, a two-term governor in his first try for national office, surpassed the 37 percent that Bob Dole drew in a six-candidate field in 1988. Mr. Bush had set that figure as his goal. Yet in a sign of the potency that the abortion issue held here, his Political Communication Lab., Stanford University results did not match the total votes of Mr. Forbes, Mr. Keyes and Mr. Bauer, who all criticized Mr. Bush as being soft on the question. In the Democratic race, Mr. Gore outpolled former Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey 63 percent to 35 percent.
