  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

THE 1992 ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA: A STATUS QUO STATE IN THE YEAR OF CHANGE Larry J. Sabato University of Virginia THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The 1992 election, full of upheaval and transformation around the country, was more traditional in the Old Dominion. While the nation was ousting White House incumbent George Bush, Virginia voted to reelect him by a percentage that was Bush's sixth-best of the 50 states. 1 And in a year when many scandal­ tainted congressional incumbents stepped aside, voluntarily or through defeat, the only changes in Virginia's U. S. House line-up were forced by redistricting and one age-related retire­ ment. Much as in 1976, when southern Democrat Jimmy Carter won the presidency, Virginia resisted both regionalism and the call for change-and this time the Commonwealth was joined by most other states of the South.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.

  • Ralph Nader: White Knight Or Pied Piper?
    Ralph Nader: White Knight or Pied Piper? Op-Ed printed in The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, November 2, 2000 Ralph Nader wants to win at least five percent of the national vote to qualify the Green Party for federal matching funds in the 2004 campaign, hoping to provide the means to build a permanent political watchdog for progressive causes. The recent experience of minor parties suggests a less happy outcome. Was anyone watching what happened to the Reform Party? Membership in American political parties is wide open, leaving promising minor parties vulnerable to colonization by less successful groups from the fringes of political life, as the Reform Party discovered. If Nader were to get five percent of the vote, the Greens would be a magnet for every group of opportunists jumping ship from the battered Reform Party. First in line likely would be Lenora Fulani, leader of the political cult once called the New Alliance Party, followed by Maharishi University professor John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party. Superficially at least, the left-populist rhetoric of Fulani and the New Age nostrums of Hagelin would be a better fit with the Greens than they were with Reform. Next in line would be the various Trotskyist sects presently biding their time in more marginal minor parties. The banners of one of these, the International Socialist Organization, were already in evidence at the pro-Nader rally outside the Presidential debate in Boston. Battles among such obscure socialist sects as the Workers World Party and its perennial candidates contributed to the decline of California’s Peace and Freedom Party, which lost its ballot status last year, leaving the Greens as the only tempting alternative.

  • The Presidential Election Public Funding Program—A Commissioner’S Perspective
    The Presidential Election Public Funding Program—A Commissioner’s Perspective Prepared by Scott E. Thomas Campaign Finance Institute Task Force on Financing Presidential Nominations Washington, D.C. January 31, 2003 The Federal Election Commission (“the Commission” or “the FEC”) has played a central role in sustaining the presidential public funding program. Under this program: (1) candidates seeking the nomination of a party may seek matching funds to supplement contributions being raised; (2) parties may receive grants to pay for their nominating conventions, fully in the case of major parties; and (3) candidates may receive grants to pay for the general election phase, fully in the case of major party candidates. The underlying purpose of the program is to reduce the instances where candidates and their party apparatus would be susceptible to requests for favors by those who would arrange for funding the campaigns and conventions. Relying on funds raised from millions of individuals earmarking $3 of their taxes each year, rather than on funds raised from persons who can gather and forward batches of larger contributions, the candidates will encounter fewer quid pro quo situations as officeholders. This paper will address several areas: (1) the extent to which the program is facing funding constraints and what remedies have been considered by the FEC; (2) the impact of the early primaries and the primary spending limit on candidates during the April to August ‘lull;’ (3) the administrative and other costs of the program weighed against the benefits derived from making funds available to participating candidates and parties; and (4) whether the FEC has been striking the right balance between guarding the public fisc on the one hand, and allowing participants in the program latitude to avoid excessive oversight on the other.1 The funding shortage The Commission has warned for years that the mechanism for funding the public funding program needs repair.

  • The Liberty Pledge News
    The Liberty Pledge News December 1988 Dear Pledgers, Hi - Sharon Freeman here. Remember me? I worked at the national office in Houston from November '85 until December '87, and was involved in the production of 19 issues of Liberty Pledge News before leaving the staff and focusing on my responsibilities as an At-Large member of the National Committee. I've recently relocated to DC, and now my top priority is to get the Pledge back on schedule ASAP. As a member of the INC Finance Committee, I'm not interested in just the newsletter, but the Pledge program as a whole. If you have any advice, comments, complaints, and/or suggestions, please contact me care of the national office. Enough of that for now. I want to talk about this Pledge issue. The LP was mentioned in over 1200 newspaper articles in the month of November, and several themes emerged: 1) The Democratic and Republican parties have very little to offer the voters. (We already knew that, but the papers treat it like news.) 2) The media (who own the News Election Service) are involved in the falsfication not only of the election process, but the results as well; their role is denounced even by their own editors. 3) Ballot access laws have to be changed before we can seriously 00!,!Jndnt. p,,2-c.ies on the national 4) Meanwhile, we can continue to make real inroads on the local level. If the rest of the headlines and articles in this month's Pledge make you as mad as they did me, remember, your continued support of the Pledge program allows us to: * start planning now for '90 and '92 (when we may face a Republican incumbent saddled with an economic crisis and a Democratic party irreconcilably split); * set aside funds for a professional media campaign and the ongoing court/petition battle for ballot access.
