    The Forum Volume 9, Issue 2 2011 Article 3 Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy Justin Buchler, Case Western Reserve University Recommended Citation: Buchler, Justin (2011) "Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy," The Forum: Vol. 9: Iss. 2, Article 3. DOI: 10.2202/1540-8884.1434 Available at: http://www.bepress.com/forum/vol9/iss2/art3 ©2011 Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: The Causes and Consequences of Congressional Infamy Justin Buchler Abstract Legislators like Michele Bachmann and Alan Grayson become nationally infamous for their provocative behavior, yet there is little scholarly attention to such infamy. This paper examines the predictors of congressional infamy, along with its electoral consequences. First, infamy is measured through the frequency with which internet users conduct searches of legislators’ names, paired with epithets attacking their intelligence or sanity. Then, ideological extremism and party leadership positions are shown to be the best statistical predictors. The electoral consequences of infamy follow: infamous legislators raise more money than their lower-profile colleagues, but their infamy also helps their challengers to raise money. In the case of House Republicans, there appears to be an additional and direct negative effect of infamy on vote shares. The fundraising effect is larger in Senate elections, but there is no evidence of direct electoral cost for infamous senatorial candidates. KEYWORDS: Congress, Elections, polarizing, internet Author Notes: Justin Buchler is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University.

  • 10 Big Questions Facing Florida Politics in the Wake of the Redistricting Decision
    10 big questions facing Florida politics in the wake of the redistricting decision By Peter Schorsch - Jul 13, 2015 SHARE Facebook Twitter As has been widely reported, the Florida Supreme Court ruled last week that the state’s congressional maps don’t meet the requirements of a voter-approved constitutional amendment that prohibits political lines from being drawn to favor incumbents or a political party. The court ordered the Legislature to try drawing the maps again. Here are 10 big questions looming over Florida politics in the wake of the court’s redistricting decision. 1. Will the Legislature appeal the decision? USFSP political science emeritus professor Darryl Paulson says the Legislature should appeal. “The Voting Rights Act was passed to expand majority-minority districts and then to preserve and protect them,” says Paulson. “Now you have the Florida Supreme Court challenging four of the majority-minority districts that exist in the state of Florida, which to me seems a blatantly unwise policy.” “This to me is just a very bad decision on the part of the court,” he contends. “I understand the rationale of people wanted them to do when they passed that constitutional amendment (the Florida Fair District amendments in 2010). But I am adamantly opposed to African-Americans and Hispanics having to face the brunt of this, and (are) likely in the greatest jeopardy of losing their seats after holding those seats for such a short amount of time.” Paulson thinks that Corrine Brown would seem to have grounds to challenge the Florida Supreme Court’s ruling violating the Voting Rights Act.

Based upon information and belief, Patrick Murphy and Floridians may have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 and Commission Regulations. Murphy's super PAC has been primarily funded by Murphy's own company and a family member with whom he has financial ties, which appears to be unlawful coordination between a candidate and his super PAC.

    1/4/2017 Ron DeSantis signals establishment support in Senate race - POLITICO DeSantis, center, hired Fabrizio for the role of senior advisor to his campaign. Ron DeSantis signals establishment support in Senate race By MARC CAPUTO | 05/29/15 06:30 AM EDT Rep. Ron DeSantis, who kicked off his Florida Senate campaign with the backing of top insurgent conservative groups, showcased his establishment bonafides this week when he unveiled a list of top supporters and hired the state’s most sought-after political pollster, Tony Fabrizio. Fabrizio won’t just poll for DeSantis, he’ll take on the role of senior advisor to the campaign –a position he held in Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s two successful campaigns. Fabrizio is also polling for Sen. Rand Paul’s presidential campaign this cycle. Fabrizio made clear that DeSantis’ campaign will cast the candidate, a former U.S. Navy officer and Harvard graduate, as a fresh face who can win in a primary and general election. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/ron-desantis-florida-senate-race-tony-fabrizio-118396 1/3 1/4/2017 Ron DeSantis signals establishment support in Senate race - POLITICO “Ron DeSantis represents a new generation of conservative leadership, a reform conservative,” Fabrizio told POLITICO. “I’m excited that Tony is on board for my campaign to reform Washington,” DeSantis said in a written statement. “Tony is a one of the best in the business, and he knows Florida as well as anyone. He will be a key player in our efforts.” Before announcing Fabrizio’s hiring, DeSantis’ team released a roster of influential Florida Republican supporters that includes: Jim France (a NASCAR executive from Daytona Beach); former Ambassador John Rood (a Jacksonville power broker); former Gov.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Dinner in Miami, Florida October 26, 2009 The President. Thank you. Some special acknowledgments: First of all, I don't think people quite understand, Nancy Pelosi is not simply the first woman Speaker of the House; I think she's going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers of all time. And she's very nice, and she's very friendly, but, boy, she is tough. [Laughter] And that's what you need when you're putting up with all the criticism and the carping and the griping, and that's from the Democrats. [Laughter] I mean, you should see what she has to put up with from the Republicans. So I could not have a better partner in trying to move the country than Nancy Pelosi. We've got some wonderful other elected officials that I want to acknowledge very briefly. First of all, my former colleague, a great Senator and, most importantly, former astronaut, Bill Nelson—please give Bill a big round of applause. Somebody who is doing a great job on behalf of the DCCC, Chris Van Hollen is in the house. Three outstanding Members of Congress from Florida who are here: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Kendrick Meek, Alan Grayson. And it is my expectation that she will be the next Governor of the great State of Florida—Alex Sink is in the house. Now, I saw you guys taking pictures, and I talked about the family, and, you know, I don't know how much more you want to hear from me before you get to dinner, but I want to start off mainly by saying thank you.
