  • The 2004 Election a Matter of Faith? 1 David E
    10397-01_Ch01.qxd 3/26/07 10:41 AM Page 1 The 2004 Election A Matter of Faith? 1 David E. Campbell ew observers of American politics deny that in recent Fyears religion has come to play an increasingly important role in the nation’s elections, especially the presidential election. To some, per- haps many, religion may appear to be a new factor in national politics. But today’s focus on religion is really just a variation on what has been a common theme throughout U.S. history. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson had to deal with accusations that he was an atheist; in the late 1800s, William Jennings Bryan invoked biblical themes to support economic policy; in 1928, Al Smith faced anti-Catholic mobs on the campaign trail; in 1960, John F. Kennedy too had to forestall anti-Catholic sentiment that, while muted when compared with what Smith faced in 1928, lingered nonetheless. Religion, then, has long been a feature in national elections. Yet that does not mean that the religious cleavages of the past correspond to those of the pres- ent. Rather, the last thirty years have seen a re-sorting of the parties’ electoral coalitions along religious lines. No longer are Democrats and Republicans divided along the old lines, defined by whether they are Catholic or Protestant. Instead of religious denomination, the parties are divided by religious devo- tional style—that is, a way of being religious. People who are more devout— regardless of denomination—are more likely to favor the GOP. Obviously, such a statement is a generalization.

  • DELAGE CLUB of AUSTRALIA (Inc) December 2014 Assn A0022114G
    DELAGE CLUB OF AUSTRALIA (Inc) December 2014 Assn A0022114G Adieu Gerald (Dooly) Baker - bon vivant On 30 September, St Peter’s Catholic Church in Toorak was overcrowded with a sad but appreciative throng celebrating the life of Dooly Baker on what would have been his 72nd birthday. The eulogies by friends and colleagues covered Dooly’s childhood and education, his successful and varied business career, and a very active social life centred on love, family, friends, and the diverse groups with whom he shared interests, food, wine and good times. Dooly’s daughters Alex, Philippa and Kate broadened the picture with details of his great interest and skill in Ianguages, literature and the arts. Alex explained that Dooly surprised her Di-Lorenzo parents-in- law with a speech in Sicilian. Kate, who shares her father’s interests in many of these fields and in particular in matters Gallic, described how in recent years Dooly embraced a new French mistress – the lovely CO Delage, a pleasure generally shared with Angie. In recognition of this passion, those attending included a significant number of Delage and Vintage members. The Perns came in the DE tourer, and I gave the D6/70s an outing. Walking out of the church, I encountered a smiling Mark Burns rejoicing in the fact that he survived his second visit to a Catholic place of worship without the ghost of Calvin striking him speechless or some worse fate. Perhaps the spirit of that other Celt from across the Irish Sea – the reformed Ian Paisley - had played a role? Most of us adjourned to the Australia Club where Dooly had clearly made his mark as a member.

What if Hillary Clinton Had Gone to Wisconsin? Presidential Campaign Visits and Vote Choice in the 2016 Election Christopher J. Devine Assistant Professor of Political Science University of Dayton [email protected] ABSTRACT: Hillary Clinton’s failure to visit the key battleground state of Wisconsin in 2016 has become a popular metaphor for the alleged strategic inadequacies of her presidential campaign. Critics who cite this fact, however, make two important assumptions: that campaign visits are effective, in general, and that they were effective for Clinton in 2016. I test these assumptions using an original database of presidential and vice presidential campaign visits in 2016. Specifically, I regress party vote share on each candidate’s number of campaign visits, at the county level, first for all counties located within battleground states, and then for counties located within each of six key battleground states: Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

The Paradox of Race-Conscious Labels Leslie Yalof Garfield† “I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.”1 INTRODUCTION What a difference a label makes! In the recently decided Fisher v. Texas2 case, a majority of the Supreme Court defined Texas’s Top Ten Percent Law as a race-neutral means of achieving viewpoint diversity.3 This law, enacted in its original form by the Texas legislature in 1997, guarantees admission to the state’s leading public universities for every Texas student who graduates in the top 10% of his or her high school graduating class.4 The goal of this law is to achieve viewpoint diversity in the state’s higher education systems, which it does by relying on Texas’s diverse school system, composed of individually homogenous schools drawn on geographic boundaries, to collectively produce a diverse entering class. By categorizing the Top Ten Percent Law as race-neutral rather than race-conscious, the Court excused Texas from defending its diversity initiative against a rigorous equal protection challenge, leaving the Law intact.

  • Tim Kaine Has Served People Throughout His Life As a Missionary, Civil Rights Lawyer, Teacher and Elected Official
    Tim Kaine has served people throughout his life as a missionary, civil rights lawyer, teacher and elected official. He is one of just 20 Americans (and the only Virginian) to have represented his community as a Mayor, Governor and United States Senator. Tim was elected to the Senate in 2012 as a can-do optimist skilled in bringing people together across old lines of party, race or region. In the Senate, he serves on the Armed Services, Budget and Foreign Relations Committees. He is Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on the Near East, South and Central Asian Affairs, overseeing American foreign policy in this critical region, from Morocco to Bangladesh. Tim’s Armed Services work focuses on crafting smart defense strategy in a changing world and also enables him to tackle a personal mission—the reduction of unemployment among veterans, especially Iraq and Afghanistan-era veterans. His first legislation, the Troop Talent Act of 2013, established new standards to help active duty servicemembers attain civilian credentials for military skills to assist their transition into the workforce – a bill inspired by conversations Tim had with Virginians on the campaign trail. On the Budget Committee, Tim used his experience making tough budget decisions in local and state office in Virginia to help Congress pass a two-year budget agreement that offsets the worst impacts of sequestration that had disproportionately impacted the Commonwealth. He passionately believes that working in compromise with the House to produce regular budgets will help provide the economic certainty necessary to grow the American economy. On Foreign Relations, Tim works to enhance American diplomatic leadership, with a special focus on the Middle East and Latin America.
