The big news this week was Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s Super Tuesday victories, bringing them one step closer to the respective Republican and Democratic presidential nominations. We’ll get in to more detail on the Super Tuesday results in a minute, but first, we take a look at commentary on the campaign in general. On Monday – ahead of Super Tuesday – FiveThirtyEight says that if we want to understand what’s ‘roiling’ the 2016 election, then we should pay Oklahoma a visit, given the populist enthusiasm of many of its voters. Credit: DonkeyHotey (Flickr, CC-BY-SA-2.0) For many, a Trump/Clinton showdown for the general election now seems to be inevitable. Political Animal gives some early thoughts on how such a race might run, writing that Clinton will be more than happy to go after Trump hard, unlike his GOP primary challengers.

  • OPEN LETTER to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REINCE PRIEBUS Where Does the GOP Stand on Gay Bashing?
    OPEN LETTER TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REINCE PRIEBUS Where Does the GOP Stand on Gay Bashing? Dear Mr. Priebus, Fifteen years ago, your predecessor called for party members to shun the Council of Conservative Citizens because of the group’s “racist views.”1 “A member of the party of Lincoln should not belong to such an organization,” GOP Chairman Jim Nicholson said.2 His comments had their intended effect: Senior members of Congress distanced themselves from the group. Today, Chairman Priebus, we ask that you take a similar stand and call upon Republican officials to disassociate themselves from the groups behind the upcoming Values Voter Summit. The reason is simple: These groups engage in repeated, groundless demonization of LGBT people — portraying them as sick, vile, incestuous, violent, perverted, and a danger to the nation. The Family Research Council, the summit’s host, is vigorously opposed to extending equal rights to the LGBT community. Its president, Tony Perkins, has repeatedly claimed that pedophilia is a “homosexual problem.”3 He has called the “It Gets Better” campaign — designed to give LGBT students hope for a better tomorrow — “disgusting” and a “concerted effort” to “recruit” children into the gay “lifestyle.” 4 He has condemned the National Republican Congressional Committee for supporting three openly gay candidates.5 Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association, a summit sponsor, has said the U.S. needs to “be more like Russia,” which enacted a law criminalizing the distribution of LGBT “propaganda.”6 He also has said, “Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine, and six million dead Jews.”7 Similarly, Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel, another summit sponsor, has compared those who do not denounce same-sex marriage to those who remained silent during the Holocaust.

  • Governor Decision-Making: Expansion of Medicaid Under the Affordable Care Act
    Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act By Robin Flagg A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Services and Policy Analysis in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ann C. Keller, Chair Professor William H. Dow Professor John Ellwood Professor Paul Pierson Fall 2014 Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act Copyright 2014 By Robin Flagg Abstract Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act By Robin Flagg Doctor of Philosophy in Health Services and Policy Analysis University of California, Berkeley Professor Ann C. Keller, Chair This is a study of factors that influence gubernatorial decision making. In particular, I ask why some governors decided to expand Medicaid under the Accountable Care Act (ACA) while others opted against it. Governors, like all chief executives, are subject to cross-pressures that make their jobs challenging. Budgetary pressures may differ from personal ideology and administrative infrastructures may not allow for decisive moves. Add to the equation political pressures – in particular the pressure to align with partisan positions – and a governor is faced with a myriad of opposing and interrelated factors, each requiring attention, when taking a particular position. The calculation required of a governor when deciding upon a salient issue is thus extremely complicated and nuanced. Although interesting in its own right, governor decision making is of additional significance because it may shed light on how the effects of increasing party strength and polarization are playing out at the state level.

  • July 22, 2009 the Honorable Jan
    July 22, 2009 The Honorable Jan Brewer Governor of Arizona The Executive Tower 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Re: Request to Amend the Call for Special Session to Address Issues Resulting from SB 1271's Passage Dear Governor Brewer: On behalf of the 43,000 plus members of the Arizona Association of REALTORS®, I appreciate the opportunity to present you with this letter and the accompanying information regarding the above-cited legislation. SB 1271 dramatically alters well settled Arizona law on the relationship between Arizona residential real estate owners and their lenders. The bill has far reaching effects, well beyond those testified to in committee. None of those effects are positive or helpful to restart the Arizona economy. Unfortunately, we did not fully recognize the impacts of the legislation when it was heard as a strike­ everything amendment on June 10 in the Senate Finance Committee. In reading the amendment and listening to testimony, the changes to AR.S. §33-814(G) seemed reasonable at the time. However, after researching the case law and reading the many hundreds of emails sent to us by people who will be personally impacted by SB 1271, the case law is clear and the consequences will be severe. Undoubtedly, those who voted in favor of this legislation could not have known about its far reaching legal and practical impacts. We respectfully request that you amend your Call for Special Session to permit the Arizona Legislature to reconsider these all1CncilTICnts to our laws. Lenders on Arizona residential real estate are entitled to foreclose on a home in a very short amount of time - 90 days from default.

According to a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, just 1% of the campaign coverage by major news outlets (including broadcast and cable television, radio, newspaper front pages and the most popular news websites) focused on the religion of the candidates or the role of religion in the presidential election. Only 6% of the election- related stories in major news outlets contained any reference to religion. Media attention to religion’s importance in the campaign peaked during the primaries, when several Republican candidates spoke about their Christian beliefs. The prominence of religious rhetoric in speeches by Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former U.S.

CPAC: The Origins and Role of The Conference in the Expansion and Consolidation of the Conservative Movement, 1974-1980 Abstract The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is an annual event that brings conservative politicians, public intellectuals, pundits, and issue activists together in Washington, DC to discuss strategies for achieving their goals through the electoral and policy process. Although CPAC receives a great deal of attention each year from conservative movement activists and the news outlets that cover it, it has attracted less attention from scholars. This dissertation seeks to address the gap in existing knowledge by providing a fresh account of the role that CPAC played in the expansion and consolidation of the conservative movement during the 1970s. Audio recordings of the exchanges that took place at CPAC meetings held between 1974 and 1980 are transcribed and analyzed. The results of this analysis show that during the 1970s, CPAC served as an important forum where previously fragmented single issue groups and leaders of the Old Right and New Right coalitions were able to meet, share ideas, and coordinate their efforts.

  • The Tea Party, Social Media and the Emergence of Online Politicking 3.0
    The Tea Party, Social Media and the Emergence of Online Politicking 3.0 Vincent Raynauld, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University André Turcotte, Ph.D., School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University Abstract This paper argues that the Tea Party movement (TPM), which emerged in early 2009 as an influential player in the U.S. political landscape, constitutes a sharp departure from the previously dominant bottom-up political mobilization model. In fact, it can be seen as the manifestation of a new form of politicking (online politicking 3.0) that is hyper decentralization and fragmented in nature. Several social and political movements closely mimicking the Tea Party blueprint have gained varying levels of traction in many national contexts since 2009 such as the U.S.-based Coffee Party movement, the transnational #Occupy movement, the student movement against tuition hikes in the Canadian province of Quebec, and the #idlenomore movement. This paper provides a quantitative content analysis of more than 1.7 million tweets with at least one #teaparty hashtag that were posted on Twitter by 79,564 unique tweeters between early December 2009 and mid-March 2011. The findings suggest that unlike previous populist political mobilization initiatives, the Tea Party movement is a hierarchically decentralized movement fuelled by a diverse range of formal and informal political players with often narrow preferences, interests, and objectives and focusing on a large number of social, political, and economic issues. KEYWORDS: Social media, online politics, Twitter, big data, United States, Populism, Tea Party Paper presented at a joint event of the Canadian Political Science Association and the Canadian Communication Association, June 4-7, 2013, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
