    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE THE LAST OF THE NORTHEAST REPUBLICANS: AN INDIVIDUAL DISTRICT ANALYSIS OF HOW CHANGING PARTY IDEOLOGY CAN PUSH VOTERS AWAY JORDAN ELIZABETH JOHNSTON Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Political Science with honors in Political Science Reviewed and approved* by the following: Suzanne Chod Lecturer Thesis Supervisor Gretchen Casper Associate Professor of Political Science Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTACT The Northeast has been a Democratic stronghold over the past sixty years, yet it is also a region that has many ideologically moderate Republicans who have traditionally voted for more moderate Republican Congressional representatives. Despite the region’s Democratic trend there are a few congressional districts that remained solidly Republican into the 1990s and 2000s. However, even these Republican incumbents eventually lost their seats to the Democratic Party. I examine those four districts specifically and ask whether or not a recent increase of conservatism in the Republican Party contributed to these once solid, moderate Republican districts finally becoming Democratic. I hypothesize that the Republican conservative shift did not please some of the more moderate constituents of these districts who in turn voted their Republican representatives out of office. I use ticket-splitting as an indicator of partisan change and all the districts had more Republican ticket-splitting than the national average. Once the Republican congressmen had lost their seats, the ticket-splitting was less significant, indicating that voters who had previously split their Republican tickets had permanently left the Party.

  • The Senate in Transition Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nuclear Option1
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYL\19-4\NYL402.txt unknown Seq: 1 3-JAN-17 6:55 THE SENATE IN TRANSITION OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE NUCLEAR OPTION1 William G. Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.

White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who created the style and set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Harvard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s scholarship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American‐supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Second World War and even wrote fiction. A lifelong student of American political leadership, White in 1959 sought support for a 20‐year research project, a retrospective of presidential campaigns.

PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD: The shipyard's mission over the past 50 years has been the design, construction and overhaul of submarines. It is one of three bases in the U.S. that has generations of highly skilled workers and managers in nuclear submarine technology. The shipyard is a leader in construction and overhaul of the Los Angeles Class (SSN 688) nuclear submarines. The shipyard is active in Research and Development in support of the SSN 21 and Centurion follow-on submarines. Unique capabilities include the Navy's primary certified Depot Overhaul Point for repair of submarine and surf ace craft transducers and hydrophones. It is the Navy's only designated submarine antenna repair facility. The Portsmouth Shipyard has been recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for its positive environmental programs. The Shipyard has had over 45 modernization programs since the mid-70's for a total of $154 million. There are only two other shipyards that have similar capabilities. They are Charleston, South Carolina and Mare Island, California. In 1990, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard conducted a Reduction-in- Force (RIF) that reduced the employment by 1400 persons. II. PORTSMOUTH SHIPYARD ECONOMIC IMPACT: **The averaqe employment in 1991: 7,505 employees with a payroll of $283 million (including $18 million in military pay). ** Total employment by State for 1991: Maine- 3,931; New Hampshire- 3,323; Massachusetts- 182 ** The shipyard purchased $70 million in goods and services (of this amount $38 million went to small businesses and $29 million went to local New England States).

SENATE RACE Defense Cuts Governor Gregg maintains that defense cuts are necessary but at a careful and cautious rate. The cuts he supports are at a level slightly higher than those proposed by the President, but lower than Bill Clinton1s defense cut proposal. The Governor's Democratic opponent, John Rauht wants a 50% defense cut over five years. None of the savings would be applied to the budget deficit but would instead go wholly to retraining programs. Governor Gregg believes that this drastic cut is irresponsible, would wreak economic havoc on New Hampshire's defense dependent industry1 would force the closing of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and would cripple the nation's ability to respond to military threats.
