    Abstract This Study Focused on the Rhetorical Appeals and Strategic Presentation Decisions That Shape Political Campaign Communi

    Abstract This study focused on the rhetorical appeals and strategic presentation decisions that shape political campaign communications and how these appeals interact to form a “political outsider” identity. Through a thematic analysis of candidate announcement videos, the content and motives of its design were evaluated to identify the recurring patterns and themes in how candidates present themselves and how those trends reflect what it means to be an outsider in 2018. Overall, the findings illustrate how candidates have tailored the term “political outsider” to align with their individual narratives, selectively emphasizing biographical and image traits that diverge from voters’ expectations of establishment politicians. Moreover, the study demonstrates how technology has served as democratizing element of political communications — allowing ordinary citizens to launch a bid for office. Acknowledgements Upon completion of this Honors Thesis, I would like to take the time to thank the people who helped make this study possible.

To Allison and Cole, who have been such a sources of encouragement and shenanigans. And to my roommates, Mary Beth and Courtney who have wonderfully listened to my political babbling and whose warmth and friendship have made Carolina feel like home.

    The “Un-Candidates”: Gender and Outsider Signals in Women's

    The “Un-Candidates”: Gender and Outsider Signals in Women’s Political Advertisements Shauna Shames, Research Director, The White House Project ABSTRACT. Much has been written on whether female candidates “run as women” in their campaigns. This study explores the role of gen- der in political advertising through a systematic analysis of campaign commercials from U.S. House, Senate, and Governor races from 1964 to 1998. I hypothesize that candidates will use “femininity” in the com- mercials as a marker of “outsider” status. This theory considers image differentiation and branding as they relate to gender in political ad- vertising. Advertisers typically use branding for two reasons: (1) to manufacture illusory differences to differentiate nearly identical products (such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi); and (2) to emphasize and ex- pand real differences (7-UP, for instance, tries to differentiate itself from both Coca-Cola and Pepsi by branding itself the “Un-Cola”). Fe- male candidates who correlate feminine character traits and women’s issues with an outsider presentation in their campaigns are trying to be the “Un-Candidates.” The data in this study reveal the importance of contextual factors in determining whether a female candidate will un- dertake an “un-candidate” strategy.

    Insurance Times: Industry Hopes Mass

    Insurance Times: Industry Hopes Mass. HMO Reforms Stall Ballot Question August 1, 2000, Vol. XIX No. 16 Sees problems with new law but prefers it to more radical referendum by Mark Hollmer InsuranceTimes BOSTON - Two state heath-care industry associations are reacting cautiously to a patient rights bill passed by the Massachusetts State Legislature and pledging a "wait-and-see" attitude toward the law and its new managed care standards. At the same time, property/casualty insurers are urging that the measure be amended to exempt workers compensation. And in a related issue, some industry insiders and business leaders are voicing their opposition to a fall voter referendum, which loosely outlines universal health care and calls for a schedule to implement it. If approved, industry observers claim, the referendum could bring about changes that will shift reform well into radically dangerous territory. "The fact that it calls for implementation of universal coverage without specifying how it would be paid for or who would pay for it is extremely troubling to anybody who is footing the bill for health care costs," said Larry Rasky, a consultant with the Committee for Affordable Health Care Choices. Group members include various business/industry and medical associations and specialists who view the initiative as "dangerous, poorly written" and "a disaster if it is made law," Rasky said. Still, the so-called "Patient Bill of Rights" approved by the State House includes a number of new requirements and greater government oversight. Gov. Paul Cellucci signed the bill into law on July 21. Reform Provisions Among the provisions: An independent feasibility study on state-wide universal health care.
