  • The Effect of Tea Party Activity on the 2010 United States Senate Elections
    The Effect of Tea Party Activity on the 2010 United States Senate Elections Patricia Ceccarelli A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH HONORS DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN March 25, 2011 Advised by Dr. Michael T. Heaney ABSTRACT The tea party movement began in early 2009 in reaction to the stimulus bill. Throughout 2009 local and national tea party groups formed and held rallies around the country. A Republican won Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat with the help of the tea party movement in early 2010. Several GOP establishment candidates lost their primaries to tea party candidates. So, what was the overall effect of tea party activity on the 2010 U.S. Senate elections? Did voter enthusiasm lead to more wins by Republican candidates? Or did the movement push the candidates too far to the right and prevent Republicans from winning? Each of the 37 U.S. Senate races were coded in terms of level of tea party activity, expected lean of the race, and percentage of the vote won by the GOP candidate. The level of tea party activity was based off of tea party movement related endorsements and campaign contributions received by each candidate. A regression analysis produced statistically significant results suggesting that states with high levels of tea party activity earned significantly lower vote shares for Republican candidates, after controlling for races leaning toward the Republican candidate. In order to further explain these results, nine case studies of different races explored the organizing at the grassroots level of the tea party movement.

KRATOVIL Republican challenger holds 11 point lead In a rematch of the 2008 election for Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, Republican challenger Andy Harris holds an 11 point lead over Democrat incumbent Frank Kratovil. The Monmouth University Poll finds the race stands at 53% for Harris to 42% for Kratovil. This district is comprised of nine counties that make up Maryland’s Eastern Shore plus parts of three other counties in the Baltimore area. In 2008, the same two candidates vied for an open seat – open due to Harris’ defeat of incumbent Wayne Gilchrest in the GOP primary. In that race, Kratovil won a narrow victory by racking up an 11 point margin in his native Eastern Shore to offset Harris’ 12 point advantage in the western part of the district. That scenario is unlikely to play out this year. The poll finds Harris with an advantage in both the eastern (50% to 44%) and western (56% to 40%) portions of the district. “Prior to 2008, this seat was safely in the Republican fold. It looks like it will revert to form in 2010,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. Congressman Kratovil’s job performance rating among likely voters in his district is decidedly negative at 34% approve to 49% disapprove. He garners personal ratings of 37% favorable to 44% unfavorable.
