2008Clare Boothe LuceCalendar Policy Institute Now andAuthor Not Jennifer Yet Marshall signs her book, the Conservative Women’s Network in June 2007. , for Luce staffer Camille Hart at Conservative young women from high schools across the nation join together followingNational Luce’s High 2007 School Mentoring Conference. Luncheon at the waiting in a supermarket checkout line, and instead of seeing all those tacky liberal women’s magazinesImagine like Cosmopolitan and Glamour, you see Smart, the magazine for the sharp, intellectual—and fashion- conscious—conservative woman. Instead of, say, Paris Hilton gracing the cover in all her vacant glory, you see Star Parker or Michelle Malkin modeling the latest professional styles. And rather than being bombarded with teasers like “50 ways to make him want you,” your eyes are drawn to “10 policy positions that will make him crazy.” That would be worth your four dollars. The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute doesn’t publish a magazine—yet. But weare proud to present to you our 4th annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar. It features smart, beautiful women we send to college campuses every year to impact the lives of young women. And as a special treat,for 2008 we hired our own photographer to capture a unique portrait of each woman in a setting that reflects their individuality. The result is a one-of-a-kind calendar filled withexclusive photos of your favorite conservative all-stars. Now that’s smart!

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

I well remember your hospitality in 1984, when Republicans gathered to re-nominate the Reagan-Bush ticket, and I was also fortunate to make a number of trips to Texas during my service as Secretary of Transportation. The beauty and size of your state reminds me of the story about the Texas politician who started a speech by talking about the beautiful piney woods of east Texas, and then he moved on through the bluebonnets and out to the plains and down through the hill country to the Gulf Coast and then he got back to the piney woods and started all over again. And when he got all around the state that time, he started in again about those beautiful piney woods and bluebonnets. Right then, a little old fellow rose up in the back of the room and yelled out, "The next time you pass Lubbock, how about letting me off?" Well, whether it's Lubbock, Houston, or Dallas, Texans can be justifiably proud of the progress and economic expansion taking place throughout your state. Over the past few years, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been recognized as a premier location for business and corporate headquarters.

Madam President: Progress, Problems, and Prospects for 2008 By Robert P. Watson1 Abstract Women have made great progress in electoral politics both in the United States and around the world, and at all levels of public office. However, although a number of women have led their countries in the modern era and a growing number of women are winning gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races, the United States has yet to elect a female president, nor has anyone come close. This paper considers the prospects for electing a woman president in 2008 and the challenges facing Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice–potential frontrunners from both major parties–given the historical experiences of women who pursued the nation’s highest office.

  • Patrick Joseph Buchanan, “Culture War Speech: Address to the Republican National Convention” (17 August 1992)

    Patrick Joseph Buchanan, “Culture War Speech: Address to the Republican National Convention” (17 August 1992)

    Voices of Democracy 7 (2012): 47‐59 Miller 47 PATRICK JOSEPH BUCHANAN, “CULTURE WAR SPEECH: ADDRESS TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION” (17 AUGUST 1992) Eric C. Miller Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Abstract: Patrick Buchanan's speech from the 1992 Republican National Convention is frequently cited as a definitive artifact of the culture wars of the late twentieth century. After challenging President George H.W. Bush in the Republican Primary, Buchanan agreed to endorse Bush in exchange for a primetime speaking slot at the RNC in Houston. Having attacked Bush over tax policy, Buchanan drew on social issues to stir passions and unite the GOP behind Bush's candidacy. Keywords: Buchanan, Bush, culture war, family values, Republican National Convention On August 17, 1992, conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan addressed the Republican National Convention, delivering a speech that would long be remembered as the definitive statement of the American "culture war." Diagnosing the national condition as one of spiritual decline, Buchanan neatly divided the American populace into two competing camps— one that was traditional, patriotic, and conservative, and another that was radical, deviant, and fiercely liberal. A vote for George H. W. Bush, Buchanan declared, was a vote for the former; a vote for William Jefferson Clinton was a vote for the latter. If Americans were to emerge from their spiritual descent and return to the "Judeo‐Christian" values upon which the nation was founded, it was vital that they support of the Republican ticket. Couched in the language of warfare, the stakes of Buchanan's vision were unmistakably high. But in order to understand Buchanan's argument—indeed, to understand why he was afforded a speaking slot at the RNC in the first place—one must first understand a few things about his life, career, politics, and the context in which these events unfolded.

    News & Events University News & Information California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California April 1, 2004 Contact: Blake Bolton Cal Poly College Republicans (858) 382-0822 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Controversial Political Activist Angela Bay Buchanan to Speak at Cal Poly April 6 SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Continuing its Conservative Lecture Series, the Cal Poly College Republicans, a student club, is hosting Angela Bay Buchanan in an on-campus speech Tuesday, April 6, beginning at 7 p.m. in the silo of the Orfalea College of Business building. Buchanan will speak on the failures of feminism and the rights of the unborn child, among other conservative issues, said club spokesman Blake Bolton. "Her speeches on college campuses have been very heated, and spark controversy with liberal faculty and students," Bolton said. Buchanan is president of American Cause, an educational foundation dedicated to advancing traditional conservative issues. She has also served as the campaign chairman for all of her brother Pat Buchanan's presidential campaigns. Currently, Buchanan is a regular political analyst for "Inside Politics" on CNN, where she debates Donna Brazile. From September 1996 through August 1999, Bay co-anchored "Equal Time," a political talk show on CNBC and then MSNBC. In addition, she worked as a political analyst for "Good Morning America" throughout the general election in 1992. From 1996-1997, Buchanan hosted a two-hour radio talk show covering current events. Buchanan began her political career as the National Treasurer of Ronald Reagan's presidential campaigns in 1980 and 1984. In 1981, then-President Reagan appointed her to serve as Treasurer of the United States.

As the vice president has inched closer to the Democratic presidential nomination, his favorability ratings have fallen and he has slipped further behind GOP frontrunner George W. Bush in the horse race polls. While general election polls taken at this point in the cycle are more often wrong than right (see page 5), Gore’s problems may be more enduring. Fewer Americans volunteer positive descriptions of Gore than did so just two years ago, and his favorability ratings are well below the 1987 ratings of Vice President Bush, who trailed the likely Democratic nominee at that time. The patterns of response to questions about Gore may be more troublesome than the weak numbers themselves. Analysis of the latest Pew Research Center survey shows that attitudes toward Gore are more closely linked to Bill Clinton’s mixed personal ratings than to his strong job approval. The opposite pattern was observed for Bush and Reagan 12 years ago.

Staab* As has been widely discussed, and convincingly demonstrated elsewhere,1 the Rehnquist Court is in the midst of a constitutional revolution in the area of federalism. By broadly interpreting the 2 Tenth and Eleventh Amendments, the five-justice conservative bloc has sharply limited federal authority and has resurrected the con- cepts of state "traditional functions" and "sovereign immunity." One notable exception to this revolution, however, has been the Court's preemption decisions.3 Significantly, in this area the Rehnquist Court conservatives have been as likely, or more likely, than their * Associate Professor of Political Science, Central Missouri State Uni- versity; B.A., Roanoke College; J.D., University of Richmond; Ph.D., Univer- sity of Virginia.
