VIDEOSTYLE AND WEBSTYLE IN 2000: COMPARING THE GENDER DIFFERENCES OF CANDIDATE PRESENTATIONS IN POLITICAL ADVERTISING AND ON THE INTERNET A Dissertation APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION BY r Acknowledgments As with any extensive and important project, one cannot tackle the challenge alone. Throughout the course of my doctoral program and in the design, implementation, and analysis of this project, I am fortunate to have been given the support, guidance, and advice from a special team of individuals to whom I offer my respect and gratitude. First and foremost, Lynda Lee Kaid has represented the true nature of a mentor and advisor. Dr. Kaid supported and encouraged my desire to develop and build a research agenda focusing on women and politics, providing me with the tools to develop a firm research foundation. She exemplifies the truest blend of commitment to research, teaching, and service to the discipline, continuing to extend political communication scholarship through her own work as well as through the encouragement of her students' research. Her contributions to the accomplishment of my doctoral program and her research inspirations continue to guide and challenge me. Sandra Ragan has also provided much encouragement and support throughout my doctoral program, particularly in the final year. Her willingness to assist in navigating through the complexities of the program and to serve as my co­ advisor are sincerely acknowledged and appreciated.

  • Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at a Rally For
    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at a Rally for Gubernatorial Candidate R. Creigh Deeds in Norfolk, Virginia October 27, 2009 The President. Hello, Virginia! Thank you, Virginia! Well, it's good to be back in Norfolk. It's good to be back in Virginia. Audience member. We love you! The President. I love you back. I am so proud to stand up here with two Virginia leaders, two men who wake up every single day thinking about your future, your family's future, the future of this Commonwealth, two men of great character. The only difference is one's the Governor and one's going to be the Governor: Tim Kaine and Creigh Deeds. In addition to these outstanding leaders, there are a couple other people I just want to acknowledge. I want to say thank you to the Old Dominion University President, Brocerick— he told me your football team is doing all right; a great Member of Congress, Congressman Bobby Scott; Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones; Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim; State Senator Yvonne Miller; Delegate Kenny Alexander; your next Lieutenant Governor, Jody Wagner; and your next attorney general, Steve Shannon. That's a good lineup. That is a good lineup. Now, one of the things I like about Virginia is that you've got a good pattern emerging here—started with Mark Warner. He's now doing an extraordinary job as your Senator, but 8 years ago, he recognized that the old, tired, worn-out politics of division, that wasn't serving the American people well, it wasn't serving the Commonwealth of Virginia very well.
