  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • What Makes a Great Judge? Update for Those
    ssttarar--nneewwss 4 The Goodland Star-News / Friday, October 14, 2005 opinion from our viewpoint... What makes a great judge? Most mouths dropped a foot when President George Bush nominated his friend and counsel Harriet Meirs to be a Su- preme Court Justice. His nomination of Meirs to replace retiring judge Sandra Day O’Connor does preserve the gender balance, but with- out any judicial background Meirs may be the first outsider to be nominated to the highest court of the land. Meirs is a corporate lawyer, and a longtime loyal friend of Bush, which makes many conservatives feel she will de- cide cases along the same ideological lines as President Bush would himself given the opportunity to appoint him- self to the high court. Her unknown quantity as a sitting judge gives others wild speculation about how she will address complex cases, and they are nervous because of that uncertainty. We have no illusions that Meirs is anything but a person with true politically conservative leanings. That is a given, but what is interesting is that she would be the first justice who would not have a lot of legal baggage tied up in previ- ous rulings from the bench. To many there is a sense the legal system is a bit inbred now with all the requirements that anyone who is a judge must first be a lawyer. Having a fresh look at the judicial decisions by someone who has not made hundreds before Update for those feline fanciers could be a good thing both for the court and for the entire Cats.

  • Wildcat Fans Ready for Texas Bowl the Bottom of the Barrel Democrat Iraq Weakness Is Bush's Strength
    ssttaarr--nneewwss 4 The Goodland Star-News / Friday, December 22, 2006 opinion from our viewpoint... Wildcat fans ready for Texas Bowl Local Kansas State University fans will be able to watch the K-State Wildcats and the Rutgers Scarlett Knights do battle in the inaugural Texas Bowl in Houston’s Reliant Stadium on Dec. 28. The game will be on the NFL Network. S&T cable will carry it on Channel 35, and Eagle will carry it on Channel 45. Apparently that isn’t the case across the state. In fact, our own Sen. Pat Roberts talked with National Football League Commis- sioner Roger Goodell, urging him to permit Kansans to watch the televised coverage of what could be one whale of a bowl game. A news release from the senator leads one to believe Kansans won’t be able to watch the game. We don’t know what area or ar- eas of the state the senator is referring to, but out here we are al- ready popping the corn, chilling the refreshments, cleaning off the grill and getting ready for the showdown. If you have friends in areas of the state that won’t be able to watch the game, invite them out, much like you would pheasant hunters to experience some of the advantages of small, rural town life. It’s not often we can brag about having something they don’t. In a news release from Sen. Roberts, he says: “Every Kansan should be able to cheer on their team, be it the Wildcats, the Jayhawks or the Shockers.

  • Measuring the Assurances of Female Political Leaders: Hillary Clinton On
    “Measuring the Assurances of Female Political Leaders: Hillary Clinton on the Campaign Trail” Paper presented to panel B10: “Responsiveness and Representation” May 31, 201, 10:30-12 pm, CL 305 Annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Regina Saskatchewan, May 30-June 1, 2018 Abstract: A well-established maxim within the political leadership literature holds that most leaders, most of the time, seek to assure citizens in their public communications. The provision of such certainty is thought to be integral to the exercise of leadership: uncertain citizens seek advice and reassurance, and so they turn to political leaders who can provide such goods (Downs, 1957). This understanding has been studied empirically mainly with respect to male leaders (de Clercy, 2005). This study asks: do female political leader also communicate certainty and uncertainty to citizens and, if so, how may such messages compare with those of male leaders? The study focuses on Hillary Clinton, the first woman to campaign for the American presidency. Leader communications are evaluated by analysing the content of Clinton’s three televised 2016 presidential debate performances using Atlas.ti, a qualitative content analysis program. These findings are compared with the same speech sets for her opponent, Donald Trump. Then, these values are compared with similar data for a sample of two other male presidential candidates. The study finds Clinton fits the role of a classic transactional leader and given the small number of cases under study here, there seems to be no systematic difference in how she communicated assurances to citizens based on her gender.

    Albert Gore, Jr. Pictured left with his father Sen. Albert Arnold Gore Sr. tuning a violin. Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (born March 31, 1948, Washington, DC, US), American politician who served vice president of the United States from 1993- 2001. The son of Democratic congressman and senator Albert Gore, Sr. from Tennessee, Gore graduated from Harvard University in 1969 and was inducted into the army, serving in Vietnam as a military reporter in 1969-71. He then became a reporter for The Tennessean, a newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee. While working (1971-76) for that paper, Gore also studied philosophy and law at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Gore won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976 and was reelected twice before he won a seat in the Senate in 1984. In 1988 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Gore was reelected to the Senate in 1990, and in 1992 he was picked by the Democratic presidential nominee, Bill Clinton, to be his running mate. A moderate Democrat, Gore became vice president when Clinton defeated Republican incumbent George Bush in the 1992 presidential election. In 1993 Gore helped the Clinton administration secure congressional passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Gore and Clinton were reelected in 1996 to a second term, defeating the Republicans led by Robert Dole. In 2000 Gore ran unsuccessfully for President, having been defeated by Republican George W. Bush, son of former President George Bush. *See Wiley “Willie” Denney & Clara Enoch Wiley “Willie” Denney is the son of John Denney & Sarah “Sally” Winfree.
