Weekly Update September 21, 2012 Legislative and Political Wisconsin Senate race: Voters in the middle are key Republican Tommy Thompson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin are miles apart on the political spectrum, but both are courting the middle in the race for U.S. Senate. Thompson appears recently to have lost ground -- for the moment, at least -- with this small but influential voting bloc, according to polls released last week. That picture could change between now and the Nov. 6 election as Thompson sharpens his message and spends more on TV ads. In a statewide election, "the race is won or lost in the middle," said Evan Zeppos, a Democratic strategist. "It's always been that way in Wisconsin and it always will be." Wisconsin has traditionally been closely divided between Republicans and Democrats. It's a purple state with a fluid middle, said Charles Franklin, who directs the Marquette University Law School poll. "It doesn't take a lot for the independents to tip the race, one way or the other," said Franklin, noting that independents helped Republican Scott Walker win the 2010 race for governor and survive this summer's recall. Baldwin leads Thompson in new poll Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) leads former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) in their Senate race in a new poll, the latest to show her with momentum in the state. The poll shows Baldwin leading Thompson by 48 to 46 percent in a poll conducted for NBC News and The Wall Street Journal by Marist College. Two other nonpartisan public polls released this week showed the race tied and Baldwin up by 9 points, a big shift from one month ago, when Thompson led in all public polling by a comfortable margin. Baldwin has been able to outspend Thompson on the air since he clinched the GOP nomination because he spent most of his campaign funds to win the August primary, and Thompson himself admitted he'd slipped in the polling earlier this week, partly blaming his financial disadvantage and partly blaming Mitt Romney for his standing. Romney trails President Obama in the same NBC poll by 5 percentage points despite having home-state Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on the ticket. Recalls this year cost taxpayers more than $14 million The recall election against Gov. Scott Walker and a related primary together cost state and local taxpayers more than $14 million - less than originally expected but still a hefty unbudgeted expense. The rough totals for the May 8 recall primary and the June 5 general election were put together by the Government Accountability Board and included both the state elections agency's own costs and those of local governments. Previously, the accountability board had estimated the state and local costs for the two elections would reach $18 million. The somewhat lower costs were no consolation to Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester), a supporter of the GOP governor who is seeking to limit future recall elections to cases of misconduct in office. "I'm more committed than ever to recall the recalls in the state of Wisconsin. It's an outra ge that (this money) was wasted on these unnecessary elections, with most of the financial burden on local governments," Vos said. Regulatory and Industry Adelstein Departs Rural Utilities Service Jonathan S. Adelstein, who headed up the Rural Utilities Service during a time of major changes in the rural telecom industry, left his position as of September 15. John Paladino, who has served as special assistant to Adelstein since 2009, has been designated acting administrator. In a statement, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack — Adelstein’s former boss – thanked Adelstein for his service. “During his three years at USDA, he helped make significant investments through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and this work will strengthen rural America for decades to come,” said Vilsack. T-Mobile, US Cellular, 43 Smaller Carriers Vie for 3G/4G Rural Funding The FCC has announced 52 qualifying bidders in the Connect America Fund Mobility Fund reverse auction to be conducted on Sept. 27. Qualified bidders include five units of U.S. Cellular; four units of T-Mobile; Alaska’s GCI Communication; Commnet Wireless, which operates a rural wholesale roaming network, and numerous small rural wireless carriers. Commnet’s participation is no surprise, considering that the mobility fund auction targets roadways where 3G wireless service is not available. A total of $300 million is up for grabs in the auction, which will bring 3G or 4G wireless to rural areas where 3G is not available today. The money for the program was freed up through cost savings in other areas of today’s Universal Service fund and will be the first test of the FCC’s long-expected reverse auction approach. Carriers will bid to deliver service to at least 75% of the service area, and funding will be awarded to the carrier that offers to deliver service at the lowest level of support. AT&T's Stephens: Hope to have decision on rural wireline assets by end of the year AT&T senior executive VP and CFO John Stephens said on Thursday during the Bank of America 2012 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference in Beverly Hills that the telco they could have a solution for what to do with its rural wireline assets by the end of the year. "With regard to our wireline business, particularly some of the non-urban wireline access lines, the process is ongoing," Stephens said. "There's been a lot written about what to expect or whether things have changed, but I pull us back to the beginning of year (when) we thought it would take 18-24 months to do a full evaluation and we shortened that time frame to 12-18 months and we're hopeful to have something done by the end of the year." What's fueled rumors about the fate of AT&T's rural lines was its failed move to buy T-Mobile. When the deal was announced, the service provider hoped that the purchase would help it solve its rural broadband problem with wireless service. Ohio advocate groups rail against plans to disconnect guaranteed landline phone service Consumer advocate groups descended on Columbus, Ohio Wednesday to make it clear to state legislators that they don't like a proposal to end guaranteed landline telephone service in the state. The Ohio Senate approved the legislation 30-3 in February and the debate moved on to the House, where it will likely resume after the November elections. The state is proposing legislation, backed by the telecommunications industry, that says it is a "waste of resources to continue maintaining archaic landline equipment at a time when more and more consumers are walking away from the service," a story on NBC4i.com said. Broadband and Internet Calix: Peak Download Speed Below 3 Mbps for 55% of Rural Customers More than half (55%) of rural broadband subscribers received maximum peak downstream speeds of less than 3 Mbps in the second quarter of 2012, according to new research from broadband equipment manufacturer Calix. Nevertheless rural subscribers are generating substantially more Internet traffic than they did just one quarter ago, with traffic rising 53%. Calix’s research was based on data from 65 privately and publicly held independent operating companies and cooperatives in rural areas nationwide. The data was collected through Calix’s Compass Flow Analyze network utilization software. Companies studied had an average of more than 5,000 lines, but some had as few as 1,000 and others had as many as 50,000. A total of more than 250,000 endpoints were included in the research. Senate panel unanimously opposes giving U.N. more Internet control The fight for control of the Internet goes on with the United States taking a stance against what appears to be much of the rest of the world. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is now on record as unanimously opposing a proposal to give the United Nations' International Telecommunication Union (ITU) more control over governance of the Internet. The issue is expected to come up at a conference in Dubai in December, and the committee wanted to be ahead of it with its resolution and potentially the support of the full Senate. The committee resolution is another step in wide-scale U.S. opposition to a proposal that is reportedly being backed by China, Russia and other U.N. members to give the ITU more control over cybersecurity, data privacy, technical standards and the Web's address system. Cellular and Wireless Could an AT&T Rural 4G LTE Program be on the Way? AT&T is changing gears on its approach to its rural telecommunications business – and potentially that new approach could be good for rural AT&T customers. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson told investors at a Goldman Sachs Cornucopia conference in New York this week that the company is looking at investing in its rural operations as an alternative to divesting that business. He also said the company is considering using a fixed broadband solution based on LTE to serve sparsely populated rural areas. “LTE can become a fixed-line replacement or even better than what you get from fixed line,” said Stephenson, according to a report written by a Dow Jones Newswire reporter and published on the Total Telecom site.

    PARODY FOR THE PUBLIC SPHERE: THE DAILY SHOW’S NARRATIVE ON DEMOCRACY INACTION by KRISTEN MARIE HEFLIN (Under the Direction of Dwight E. Brooks) ABSTRACT Parody is a narrative device that twists the conventions of an original work to create a new and typically subversive form of the original. Literary critics have studied parody in written works, but parody on television has not been closely examined. This study uses narrative analysis to look at how parody operates in the television show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Findings indicate that parody functioned to tell three major narrative themes in the show: 1) The television news media is not fulfilling its role in society. 2) The political institutions of the United States are not fulfilling their role their role in society. 3) Intolerant ideologies place harmful limits on society. This study discusses how parody works in The Daily Show to produce these particular meanings, as well as, what these recurring narratives say about the show’s opinion of our American democracy and our public sphere.

Predicting Elections from Politicians' Faces Abstract Prior research found that people's assessments of relative competence predicted the outcome of Senate and Congressional races. We hypothesized that snap judgments of "facial competence" would provide useful forecasts of the popular vote in presidential primaries before the candidates become well known to the voters. We obtained facial competence ratings of 11 potential candidates for the Democratic Party nomination and of 13 for the Republican Party nomination for the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. To ensure that raters did not recognize the candidates, we relied heavily on young subjects from Australia and New Zealand. We obtained between 139 and 348 usable ratings per candidate between May and August 2007. The top-rated candidates were Clinton and Obama for the Democrats and McCain, Hunter, and Hagel for the Republicans; Giuliani was 9th and Thompson was 10th. At the time, the leading candidates in the Democratic polls were Clinton at 38% and Obama at 20%, while Giuliani was first among the Republicans at 28% followed by Thompson at 22%.

  • ABC News: Benefits of a Presidential Bid 02/02/2007 08:36 AM
    ABC News: Benefits of a Presidential Bid 02/02/2007 08:36 AM Benefits of a Presidential Bid With So Many Candidates in the Field, What Happens to All the Losers? By WILLEM MARX Feb. 1, 2007 — - So far there are 20 bids in the presidential race. But have you ever wondered why the long-shot candidates even bother? Perhaps because even presidential losers can end up as financial winners. Beside the heavyweights like John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Barack Obama, many other politicians are vying for their party's nomination. This is nothing unusual, according to political science professor William Mayer of Northeastern University. "The nonincumbent party -- which in 2008 is the Democrats -- usually has a very large field, and on the Republican side they are in the same boat because there's no vice president [running for election]," Mayer said. The long-shot candidate's motto might be "remember Jimmy Carter." When the race for the 1976 Democratic nomination began, Carter was widely seen as a long shot. But by the time the primary season was half finished, he had left the other, better-known Democratic contenders in the dust. Nevertheless, today's field certainly has a number of candidates who could charitably be described as having outside chances. That includes Rep. Duncan Hunter of California. Hunter is a conservative in the Republican field, but he has barely registered a percentage point in the latest, albeit early, polling. In fact, the 14-term congressman is aiming to be the first sitting House member elected president since James Garfield in 1880.

  • Shaping the 44Th Presidency Charles O
    Number 9 August 2007 Shaping the 44th Presidency Charles O. Jones and Kathryn Dunn Tenpas EXECUTIVE SUMMARY he Twenty-Second Amendment, as ratified in 1951, replaced a question mark with a period. Will the Tpresident seek a third term? He or she cannot. Once reelected , a president becomes the present that is tomorrow’s past. The final two years of a president’s term are especially notable given that the second midterm election is the last opportunity, however problematic, for gauging the president’s status with voters. Heads begin to turn, focusing as much or more on “who’s next” as “who’s still there.” As this happens, the new presidency begins to take shape. Three presidencies—those of Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton—have experienced this inevitable look forward. Nixon, too, was reelected but resigned before the second midterm election. Of the other post-1951 presidencies, Truman and Johnson could have run for another term but chose not to; Carter and George H.W. Bush (Bush 41) sought reelection and were defeated, as was Ford for a full term. And now George W. Bush (Bush 43) is serving in that period when the present is forming the future. This issue paper will compare Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton before turning to Bush 43. The first three have several common characteristics that help to explain the type of presidency being formed in the last two years. As it enters its period of termination, the Bush 43 presidency scarcely resembles those of his predecessors and the differences are a cause for concern. The 44th president will inherit a diminished presidency in a system that appears now to be pitted against itself.

  • Religion Drives Iowa GOP Race, Lifting Huckabee Into the Lead
    ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST POLL: IOWA REPUBLICAN CAUCUS EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE AFTER 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2007 Religion Drives Iowa GOP Race, Lifting Huckabee into the Lead Religion is driving the Republican presidential race in Iowa, with Mike Huckabee taking the lead on the strength of overwhelming support from evangelical voters – and Mitt Romney falling behind on the basis of concerns about his Mormon faith. Huckabee, who jumped into contention in Iowa a month ago, has soared further among his key groups – weekly churchgoers, abortion opponents, conservatives, and above all, evangelical Protestants, who account for nearly four in 10 likely caucus-goers. They now favor Huckabee over Romney by a 3-1 margin, 57 percent to 19 percent. Romney, for his part, holds a slight lead among the nearly eight in 10 Iowa Republicans who say his religion doesn’t matter in their vote. But the remaining two in 10 say his Mormon religion makes them less likely to support him – and they overwhelmingly favor Huckabee, by a large enough margin to put him in front overall. Iowa Republican Preference 50% Among likely Republican caucus-goers 45% ABC News/Washington Post polls Huckabee Romney 40% Thompson Giuliani Paul McCain 35% 35% 30% 27% 25% 20% 15% 9% 10% 8% 6% 5% 0% July November Now The contest between these two has sucked the oxygen out of the rest of the GOP field in Iowa, with Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson both down to single-digit support in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, alongside John McCain (who already was there) and the lesser-known Ron Paul.
