  • Minn. GOP Wants Bachmann for Sen., Pawlenty for Pres
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 10, 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 Minn. GOP wants Bachmann for Sen., Pawlenty for Pres. Raleigh, N.C. – Despite getting no love from the state’s at-large electorate against President Obama in PPP’s Wednesday release, outgoing Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is the slim favorite of his own party faithful to get the state’s Republican National Convention delegates. In the race to take on popular Senator Amy Klobuchar, however, he does less well despite coming closest to beating Klobuchar in Tuesday’s look at the general election. Instead, newly empowered Congresswoman Michele Bachman is overwhelmingly the darling of hardcore GOP voters. Bachmann pulls 36% support from usual GOP primary voters, with a wide margin over Pawlenty’s 20%, Norm Coleman’s 14%, and a host of prospective contenders bunched in single digits: 8th-District Congressman-elect Chip Cravaack at 7%, Tom Emmer at 6%, 2nd-District Congressman John Kline at 5%, state legislator Laura Brod at 4%, and Erik Paulsen at 2%, with 6% undecided or favoring someone else. Pawlenty trails Klobuchar by only ten points, versus Bachmann’s 18 and Coleman’s 14. There is a huge ideological divide at play. Bachmann, founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, gets a whopping 42% from the conservative supermajority, which makes up almost three-quarters of the electorate. That puts her far ahead of second-place Pawlenty’s 19%.

  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

After the September 11 attacks, terrorism was touted as a threat that would “never again” be ignored. This threat was repeatedly harped on by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. After Bush set the agenda for an expansive terror war and a presidential rhetoric replete with fear, Obama attempted to recalibrate and narrow the war on terror but ended up largely maintaining Bush’s policies and falling into some of Bush’s rhetoric regarding the terror threat. President Donald Trump, who campaigned viciously against Obama’s legacy, also did not change much in terms of terrorism policy. Even so, the rhetoric adopted by Trump has upended decades of presidential decorum and dignity in the way he speaks about terrorists and the brazen way he links terrorism to the negatives he attaches to immigration.

    The Forum Volume 9, Issue 2 2011 Article 3 Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy Justin Buchler, Case Western Reserve University Recommended Citation: Buchler, Justin (2011) "Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy," The Forum: Vol. 9: Iss. 2, Article 3. DOI: 10.2202/1540-8884.1434 Available at: http://www.bepress.com/forum/vol9/iss2/art3 ©2011 Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy Justin Buchler Abstract Legislators like Michele Bachmann and Alan Grayson become nationally infamous for their provocative behavior, yet there is little scholarly attention to such infamy. This paper examines the predictors of congressional infamy, along with its electoral consequences. First, infamy is measured through the frequency with which internet users conduct searches of legislators’ names, paired with epithets attacking their intelligence or sanity. Then, ideological extremism and party leadership positions are shown to be the best statistical predictors. The electoral consequences of infamy follow: infamous legislators raise more money than their lower-profile colleagues, but their infamy also helps their challengers to raise money. In the case of House Republicans, there appears to be an additional and direct negative effect of infamy on vote shares. The fundraising effect is larger in Senate elections, but there is no evidence of direct electoral cost for infamous senatorial candidates. KEYWORDS: Congress, Elections, polarizing, internet Author Notes: Justin Buchler is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University.
