  • For Obama, Being Right Is No Longer Enough
    The Republican Race That Wasn't Lincoln Mitchell, Harriman Institute, Columbia University Posted: November 19, 2008 08:35 AM As the 2008 election recedes into history it is clear that it will be remembered as no ordinary presidential campaign, and not just because of the eventual winner. This campaign, which really began when George W. Bush was sworn in for his second term in January of 2005, or perhaps even earlier when Hillary Clinton announced her campaign for the US Senate from the State of New York in spring of 2000, was eagerly anticipated because it was the first presidential election since 1952 where neither a sitting vice president or president was running. For the most part, 2008 did not disappoint. The Democratic primary featured a hard fought struggle between two impressive, well-financed and talented politicians. The general election was characterized by fascinating plot developments, surreal cameo appearances by strange characters like Joe the Plumber and obscure historical figures like Bill Ayers, new phrases like "hockey mom", one last round of mid-twentieth style red baiting and ultimately, for those of us who are progressive Democrats, a very happy ending. There was one part of this election season, however, which was a real disappointment. That, of course, was the Republican primary. For pure theater, the cast of characters seeking the Republican nomination promised perhaps even greater drama than the Democratic primary. The Republican primary had a 1970s style curmudgeonly Cold Warrior, a slick and well-spoken 21st century capitalist, a charmingly reactionary evangelist, a perpetually angry former mayor of New York City whose personal life had been an ongoing soap opera for years, a very thoughtful and serious 19th century Whig, and, for good measure, a conservative southern senator who almost literally came from central casting.

  • As the Race for the Presidency Enters Its Final Days, This Poll Finds Democrat Barack Obama with a Nine Point Lead Over Republic
    CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES POLL For release: Thursday, October 30, 2008 6:30 pm (EDT) THE CAMPAIGN: FIVE DAYS TO GO October 25-29, 2008 Barack Obama has reached key thresholds with voters when it comes to overcoming some of his perceived weaknesses: more than half say he is prepared for the job, and nearly half are confident in his ability to handle an international crisis. Most voters expect the Democratic nominee to reach across the aisle, and say he understands and cares about them. And Obama benefits from a surge in early voting and first time voters. But polarization remains: more than half of those currently supporting John McCain say they would be “scared” of an Obama presidency. And the remaining uncommitted voters resemble current McCain voters more than they do Obama supporters. As the race for the presidency enters its final days, this poll finds the Democratic ticket with an eleven point lead over the Republicans among likely voters (including those who lean toward a candidate), with just 5% undecided. CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT (Among likely voters including leaners) Obama-Biden 52% McCain-Palin 41 Undecided 5 Among likely voters excluding those who lean toward a candidate, the margin is the same. More than nine in 10 of each candidate’s voters say they have made up their minds about who to vote for. Fewer than one in ten of either candidate’s voters say they could still change their minds. IS YOUR MIND MADE UP? (Among likely voters with a candidate choice) Obama voters McCain voters Yes 93% 91% No, too soon 7 9 17% of registered voters say they have already voted (by absentee ballot or at early voting sites), and by a large margin they have voted for Barack Obama over John McCain.

  • Wealth Creation Or Redistribution a Hockey Momʼs Defense of Joe the Plumber
    Roddy A. Stegemann Hong Kong Language Needs Assessment Project [email protected] The Beginning of a Solution Wealth Creation or Redistribution A Hockey Momʼs Defense of Joe the Plumber During the third and final 2008 presidential election debate John S. McCain sought to emphasize an important ideological divide between the Republican and the Democratic parties. In order to bring home his point McCain evoked a televised campaign-trail conversation between his presidential rival Barack H. Obama and a once obscure, now enormously popular, unlicensed plumber from Holland, Ohio with back- taxes -- Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. The reason for this evocation was Obamaʼs reply to Mr. Wurzelbacher when he questioned the Democratic candidate about his proposed tax reforms: "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."1 Just how misleading was it then, when Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, John McCainʼs Vice Presidential running-mate, later commented at a West Chester, Ohio rally, “Joe suggested that that sounded a little bit like socialism”?2 The answer to this question can be obtained by examining the full context of Obamaʼs statement. This is what he said just prior to the above comment, "It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success, too.” 3 The keyword in the above text is chance. In other words, it is not a matter of taking one personʼs wealth and giving it to another for the otherʼs consumption, rather it is a matter of making sure that everyone has an equal chance at earning the same.

  • Barack Obama and Celebrity Spectacle1
    International Journal of Communication 3 (2009), 715-741 1932-8036/20090715 Barack Obama and Celebrity Spectacle1 DOUGLAS KELLNER University of California at Los Angeles In the contemporary era of media politics, image and media spectacle have played an increasingly important role in presidential politics and other domains of society. With the increasing tabloidization of corporate journalism, lines between news, information and entertainment have blurred, and politics has become a form of entertainment and spectacle. Candidates enlist celebrities in their election campaigns and are increasingly covered in the same way as celebrities, with tabloidized news obsessing about their private lives. In this context, presidential candidates themselves become celebrities and are packaged and sold like the products of the culture industry. In this study, I will suggest some of the ways that the logic of the spectacle promoted the candidacy of Barack Obama and how he has become a master of the spectacle and global celebrity of the top rank. I will discuss how he became a supercelebrity in the presidential primaries and general election of 2008 and utilized media spectacle to help his win the presidency. Finally, I will discuss how Obama has so far in the first 100 Days of his presidency deployed his status as global celebrity and utilized media spectacle to advance his agenda. In the contemporary era, celebrities are mass idols, venerated and celebrated by the media. The media produces celebrities and so naturally the most popular figures promoted by the media industries become celebrities. Entertainment industry figures and sports stars have long been at the center of celebrity culture, employing public relations and image specialists to put out positive buzz and stories concerning their clients, but business tycoons and politicians have also become celebrities in recent years.

    Unburdened by Objectivity: Political Entertainment News in the 2008 Presidential Campaign Rachel Cathleen DeLauder Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communication John C. Tedesco, Chair Rachel L. Holloway Beth M. Waggenspack May 3, 2010 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: News, Entertainment Media, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Jon Stewart Unburdened by Objectivity: Political Entertainment News in the 2008 Presidential Campaign Rachel Cathleen DeLauder ABSTRACT This study analyzes 2008 presidential election coverage on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report to determine how they confront the tension between the genres of news and entertainment. To this point, much of the scholarly work on political entertainment news has focused on examining its effects on viewers’ political attitudes and knowledge. A rhetorical analysis reveals the actual messages they convey and the strategies they employ to discuss contemporary American politics. Through comedic devices such as satire and parody, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report offer a venue for social commentary and criticisms of power at a time when traditional venues are dissipating, and these shows provide a place for serious political discourse that encourages dialogue that promotes civic engagement. iii Acknowledgments Thank you to my advisor and the members of my committee for their abundant patience and invaluable guidance, and especially for giving me the confidence to trust in myself. Thank you to my friends and colleagues, who helped shape my graduate experience and reminded me that life does not stop for a little schoolwork.
