  • Senator John Mccain 08 Watch: December 2005
    SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN 08 WATCH: DECEMBER 2005 IN FOCUS: McCain Said Murtha “Has Never Been A Big Thinker.” McCain was recently asked about an article in the New Republic that said, “John Kerry, McCain says, doesn’t have ‘the strength to see it through.’ And John Murtha is ‘a lovable guy,’ but ‘he’s never been a big thinker; he’s an appropriator.’ ...McCain tells me that Murtha has become too emotional about the human cost of the war. ‘As we get older, we get more sentimental.’” On his comment that Murtha is becoming too emotional, McCain replied, “I think he has become emotional, and understandably so. He goes to funerals. He goes, as many of us do, out to Walter Reed and he sees the price of war. And I think that that has had some effect on him.” [Meet the Press, NBC, 12/4/05] IN HIS OWN WORDS: McCAIN ON SANTORUM “Let’s not underestimate what Rick represents in the United States Senate. He represents family values, he represents commitment to family and America and he represents what in my view is the next generation of leadership.” [Santorum event, 12/2/05] BUZZ WATCH: Newsday: McCain Trying To Cast Himself “As The President’s Conservative Heir-Apparent.” “In a bid to pick up President George W. Bush supporters, McCain’s backers have been casting him as the president’s conservative heir-apparent in key primary states like Michigan, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where the senator suffered his most bitter primary defeat. The senator’s aides underscore the fact he’s a pro-gun, anti-abortion conservative who gets an 83 out of 100 rating from the Christian Coalition, even after criticizing the role evangelical Christians played in Bush’s 2000 campaign.” [Newsday, 12/10/2005] McCain Slipping In The Primary Polls And At Statistical Tie With Clinton.

  • Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
    James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community.
