  • CHAPTER 12 PENNSYLVANIA Following Hillary Clinton's Big Victories in the Texas and Ohio Democratic Primaries, the 2008 Campaig
    CHAPTER 12 PENNSYLVANIA Following Hillary Clinton’s big victories in the Texas and Ohio Democratic primaries, the 2008 campaign for the Democratic nomination for president became two campaigns. The first campaign was to see who would win most of the ten remaining presidential primaries. The second campaign was over who could gain the most support from the super- delegates, a special set of delegates to the Democratic National Conven- tion who were appointed rather than being selected in the caucuses and primaries. SUPERDELEGATES When the Democratic Party changed its rules in the early 1970s, it endeavored to make the Democratic National Convention a more inclu- sive event. States were required to select more women, young people, and minorities as delegates to the convention. The new rules worked quite well, and the group image of the delegates that went out to the nation on television became noticeably more diverse. By the early 1980s, however, one group was conspicuously missing at the national convention. That was party elected officials, such as state governors, members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, etc. Although a number of women and minorities held major elected offices throughout the nation, it was still true that most elected officials were middle-aged white males. The party rules requiring more women, young people, and minorities at the national convention were, in effect, excluding significant numbers of the party’s major holders of elected office. That was mainly because so many of these elected officials were men, were well-along in their careers, and were not members of a minor- ity group.

  • The Most Negative Presidential Election Ever? 1988
    The Most Negative presidential election ever? 1988 • “One of the most accepted reasons for the loss was the withering personal and political attacks that Bush launched against Dukakis, causing some political analysts to call the 1988 campaign the most negative, issueless presidential campaign in US history.” — Boston Globe “Bush offered no clues about Cabinet contenders in his victory declaration Tuesday night, but he sought to soothe the national political wounds caused by one of the most negative presidential campaigns in recent history.” — Associated Press “By all indications, the nastiest Presidential race in memory will leave in its wake a problematic residue for whoever wins.” — New York Times 1996 • "The eruption of personal attacks offered a clear signal to voters that the coming presidential campaign may turn out to be one of the nastiest and most negative in history.” — Miami Herald.
