  • Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-67, January 2012 Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates by Mark McKinnon Shorenstein Center Reidy Fellow, Fall 2011 Political Communications Strategist Vice Chairman Hill+Knowlton Strategies Research Assistant: Sacha Feinman © 2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

  • Effective Ads and Social Media Promotion
    chapter2 Effective Ads and Social Media Promotion olitical messages are fascinating not only because of the way they are put together but also because of their ability to influence voters. People are Pnot equally susceptible to the media, and political observers have long tried to find out how media power actually operates.1 Consultants judge the effective- ness of ads and social media outreach by the ultimate results—who distributewins. This type of test, however, is never possible to complete until after the election. It leads invariably to the immutable law of communications: Winners have great ads and tweets, losers do not. or As an alternative, journalists evaluate communications by asking voters to indicate whether commercials influenced them. When asked directly whether television commercials helped them decide how to vote, most voters say they did not. For example, the results of a Media Studies Center survey placed ads at the bottom of the heap in terms of possible information sources. Whereas 45 percent of voters felt they learned a lot from debates, 32 percent cited newspa- per stories, 30 percent pointed to televisionpost, news stories, and just 5 percent believed they learned a lot from political ads. When asked directly about ads in a USA Today/Gallup poll, only 8 percent reported that presidential candidate ads had changed their views.2 But this is not a meaningful way of looking at advertising. Such responses undoubtedly reflect an unwillingness to admit that external agents have any effect on individual voting behavior. Many people firmly believe that they make up their copy,minds independently of partisan campaign ads.

  • Senator John Mccain 08 Watch: December 2005
    SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN 08 WATCH: DECEMBER 2005 IN FOCUS: McCain Said Murtha “Has Never Been A Big Thinker.” McCain was recently asked about an article in the New Republic that said, “John Kerry, McCain says, doesn’t have ‘the strength to see it through.’ And John Murtha is ‘a lovable guy,’ but ‘he’s never been a big thinker; he’s an appropriator.’ ...McCain tells me that Murtha has become too emotional about the human cost of the war. ‘As we get older, we get more sentimental.’” On his comment that Murtha is becoming too emotional, McCain replied, “I think he has become emotional, and understandably so. He goes to funerals. He goes, as many of us do, out to Walter Reed and he sees the price of war. And I think that that has had some effect on him.” [Meet the Press, NBC, 12/4/05] IN HIS OWN WORDS: McCAIN ON SANTORUM “Let’s not underestimate what Rick represents in the United States Senate. He represents family values, he represents commitment to family and America and he represents what in my view is the next generation of leadership.” [Santorum event, 12/2/05] BUZZ WATCH: Newsday: McCain Trying To Cast Himself “As The President’s Conservative Heir-Apparent.” “In a bid to pick up President George W. Bush supporters, McCain’s backers have been casting him as the president’s conservative heir-apparent in key primary states like Michigan, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where the senator suffered his most bitter primary defeat. The senator’s aides underscore the fact he’s a pro-gun, anti-abortion conservative who gets an 83 out of 100 rating from the Christian Coalition, even after criticizing the role evangelical Christians played in Bush’s 2000 campaign.” [Newsday, 12/10/2005] McCain Slipping In The Primary Polls And At Statistical Tie With Clinton.

Some of the marquee figures parachuting into the race include Betsy Hoover, the Obama campaign's former director of digital organizing, who is working with the Davis camp. Meanwhile, Abbott's team has tapped the same firm that led Mitt Romney's digital efforts during his failed 2012 presidential run, a group called Targeted Victory. For Texas voters, it means both sides are set to wage the most sophisticated digital campaigns ever seen in the state ­ cutting­edge data analytics to track voter behavior and online fundraising tools battle­tested during the presidential election.

    The Retrospective Methods Network Newsletter May 2014 № 8 Edited by Frog Helen F. Leslie and Joseph S. Hopkins Published by Folklore Studies / Dept. of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies University of Helsinki, Helsinki 1 RMN Newsletter is a medium of contact and communication for members of the Retrospective Methods Network (RMN). The RMN is an open network which can include anyone who wishes to share in its focus. It is united by an interest in the problems, approaches, strategies and limitations related to considering some aspect of culture in one period through evidence from another, later period. Such comparisons range from investigating historical relationships to the utility of analogical parallels, and from comparisons across centuries to developing working models for the more immediate traditions behind limited sources. RMN Newsletter sets out to provide a venue and emergent discourse space in which individual scholars can discuss and engage in vital cross- disciplinary dialogue, present reports and announcements of their own current activities, and where information about events, projects and institutions is made available. RMN Newsletter is edited by Frog, Helen F. Leslie and Joseph S.
