I think this is largely due to being busy with fieldwork, which is a very good thing. The Executive Committee has been involved in several small issues since the spring including renewing our membership for The Archaeology Channel (see link in this newsletter), distributing some of the remaining Ancient Colorado publications, and setting up the Fall 2010 committee meeting. Probably the biggest news of the summer is that Susan Collins will be retiring from her position as State Archaeologist and deputy SHPO in October. I would like to personally thank Susan for all of her hard work during her tenure. The archaeology of Colorado has been served well by her efforts.

The race between two attractive, respected, and qualified candidates was something of an oddity in the often dysfunctional 2010 campaign cycle. Staged on the battleground of a competitive district in an electorally relevant swing state, the race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democratic incumbent Betsy Markey was a partisan fight for political momentum. The Democratic Party made inroads in the 4th District by winning the congressional seat in 2008 for the first time since the 1970s. Rep. Markey’s win over Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave was supposed to signal the long-awaited arrival of progressive politics in the district, after Rep.

    Volume 6, No. 10, November 14, 2008 Senator Barack Obama Wins Presidency Illinois Senator Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, winning 364 electoral votes and 53% of the popular vote. Senator John McCain of Arizona won 163 electoral votes and 46% of the vote. 66,361,433 votes were cast for Senator Obama and 58,024,608 were cast for Senator McCain. The Blue State-Red State count was 28- 22. In addition to gaining the White House, Democrats in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House picked up additional seats. U.S. Senate Democrats have picked up six seats in the Senate with the possibility of three more, depending on the outcome of contested races. Currently, there are 57 Democratic seats, including two Independents, Senators Bernie Sanders (VT) and Joe Lieberman (CT), who both caucus with the Democrats. Republicans now hold 40 Senate seats. Before the election, Democrats held 51 seats, including the two Independent Senators, and Republicans held 49 seats. The three undecided elections that will determine whether the Democrats have a filibuster-proof (60 votes) Senate are in Minnesota, Georgia, and Alaska. In Minnesota, Republican Senator Norm Coleman and challenger Democrat Al Franken await the outcome of a vote recount. In Georgia, a runoff is scheduled between Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss and challenger Democrat Jim Martin on December 2. In Alaska, convicted felon and incumbent Republican Senator Ted Stevens narrowly trails challenger Democrat Mark Begich.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.
