  • PLS 101 - Lecture 17
    PLS 101 - Lecture 17 A couple of things I want to talk about. Weíll bring up the PowerPoint but I also wanted to show you something here about primaries as well. You know, we just had a recent election. If you think about it right now, here we are at the very beginning of March. Go back to a year from now. Again, this is gonna be somewhat dated on the TV, I think. If you go back a year from now, a year ago, what was going on in terms of the presidential race? Think about what was happening in February and March of last year. What was happening? If you picked up the paper, what would you have seen? [Inaudible student response] Yes. Primaries were going on. These were some of the individuals who were running for president about this time last year. They were going into the primaries. Dick Gephardt from Missouri was running for president. We forget about these names so quickly. John Edwards. Howard Dean. Joe Lieberman, a senator from Connecticut. Al Sharpon. Wesley Clark and John Kerry among others who were all running for president. They wanted to pursue and become the Democratic nominee for president. Who was running in the Republican primaries? Who else? Unopposed. Thatís right. It was just Bush. That was a trick question. All right. Now, I bring all this up because what we saw happening beginning in January all the way through May or June were state by state primaries. Weíre gonna talk about primaries quite a bit today, but there were state by state elections that were taking place to determine who was gonna be the nominee for president.

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State?
    Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State? A Thesis Presented to The Division of History and Social Sciences Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Daniel Krantz Toffey May 2007 Approved for the Division (Political Science) Paul Gronke Acknowledgements Acknowledgements make me a bit uneasy, considering that nothing is done in isolation, and that there are no doubt dozens—perhaps hundreds—of people responsible for instilling within me the capability and fortitude to complete this thesis. Nonetheless, there are a few people that stand out as having a direct and substantial impact, and those few deserve to be acknowledged. First and foremost, I thank my parents for giving me the incredible opportunity to attend Reed, even in the face of staggering tuition, and an uncertain future—your generosity knows no bounds (I think this thesis comes out to about $1,000 a page.) I’d also like to thank my academic and thesis advisor, Paul Gronke, for orienting me towards new horizons of academic inquiry, and for the occasional swift kick in the pants when I needed it. In addition, my first reader, Tamara Metz was responsible for pulling my head out of the data, and helping me to consider the “big picture” of what I was attempting to accomplish. I also owe a debt of gratitude to the Charles McKinley Fund for providing access to the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, which added considerable depth to my analyses, and to the Fautz-Ducey Public Policy fellowship, which made possible the opportunity that inspired this work.

  • Joe Lieberman
    A Conversation with JOE LIEBERMAN Senator Joseph I. Lieberman was the 2000 Democratic nominee for vice president alongside presidential candidate Al Gore. From 1989 until 2013, Lieberman served as senator from Connecticut, first as a member of the Democratic Party and then, from 2006, as an independent. Previously he served in the Connecticut state senate and as the state attorney general. In this conversation, Kristol and Lieberman discuss key moments of Lieberman’s career in public service from his ascent in Connecticut politics to Gore-Lieberman in 2000, as well as his successful Senate campaign as an independent in 2006. Lieberman also reflects on colleagues and contemporaries such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Bob Dole, John McCain, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. On Gore-Lieberman 2000, Lieberman says: “It vindicated Gore's confidence that America was not going to judge me based on my religion. And it's a wonderful thing to be able to say.” On his support for the Iraq War, Lieberman says: “It really alienated me from a lot of the left of the Democratic Party and frankly some of the middle, too, who were anti-war and anti-Bush... A lot of them read it not that I was sticking with the Iraq war for reasons of foreign policy and American national interests but somehow I was doing it for President Bush...the fact that he and I might have...reached the same policy conclusions never dawned on a lot of these people.” On Two Democratic Presidents, Lieberman says: “Obama has very smart ideas but has not worked the Congress very well and people, even those who are loyal to him, don't see him, don't talk to him very much...Clinton, he'd call you and the problem was ‘how do I get him off the phone?’” Chapter Links to JOE LIEBERMAN Conversation Gore-Lieberman 2000 From Connecticut to Washington Lieberman’s 2006 Senate Race On Senators and Presidents 350 WEST 42ND STREET, SUITE 37C, NEW YORK, NY 10036 .

  • The Choice of Running Mate
    CBS NEWS POLL For release: Wednesday August 6, 2008 7:00 A.M. VICE PRESIDENTIAL CHOICES July 31 - August 5, 2008 By over two to one, voters say that a candidate’s choice of a running mate won’t matter much when deciding which candidate to support for president. 67% say they will be voting based mostly on the presidential candidates, not on whom those men choose as their vice presidential nominee. But 30% say that the choice of a running mate will have a great deal of influence on their vote -- twice the number who said it would matter in July 2000, before George W. Bush and Al Gore made their choices. RUNNING MATE CHOICE (Among registered voters) Now 7/2000 A great deal of influence on vote 30% 15% Vote based on presidential candidates 67 81 Voters who are still undecided are more apt than those currently favoring Obama or McCain to say the candidates’ choices for vice president will be important to their vote -- 48% say it will influence their vote, 47% say it won’t.

  • One Person Made a Difference
    November 7, 1993 One Person Made a Difference By DAVID OSHINSKY; NEVER STOP RUNNING Allard Lowenstein and the Struggle to Save American Liberalism. By William H. Chafe. Illustrated. 556 pp. New York: Basic Books. $28. IN the chaotic 1960's, against a backdrop of violent protests, racial strife and televised assassinations, a new kind of politics emerged from a rather novel source. It was a politics of impatience and idealism, propelled by elite college students who had come of age in the prosperous baby-boom years following World War II. And it was molded, in large measure, by a rumpled, frenetic tactician named Allard K. Lowenstein, whose radical strategies sometimes masked his thoroughly mainstream political beliefs. The title of William H. Chafe's book "Never Stop Running" perfectly captures the manic crusading, the rootlessness and the fear of personal relationships that made Lowenstein unique. "How we behave in our public lives inevitably reflects values, attitudes and experiences embedded in our private lives, and vice versa," writes Mr. Chafe, a professor of history at Duke University. In pursuing this vital link between the personal and the political, he has interviewed dozens of people and mined every scrap of paper -- including private correspondence and diaries -- from a subject who seemed to throw nothing away. The result is both a superb biography of Lowenstein and a gripping history of liberal protest and reform in an increasingly conservative age. Politics came naturally to Lowenstein. His immigrant father preached the virtues of socialism while slicing roast beef at the family's bustling cafeteria in Manhattan.
