Abstract
In this paper, the writer offers a brief history of the Republican Party. The writer then provides an analysis of how traditional Republican values are applied to the 2004 presidential campaign and presidential election.
From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson was elected President as a Republican, but the party which supported him was a far cry from today's G. O. P. He espoused liberalism reducing the national debt and military expenditures and was an avowed deist who rejected identification with any Christian denomination. This liberal Republican Party elected Presidents James Madison and James Monroe in the next two decades. But it ran aground when Federalist John Quincy Adams was elected by the House of Representatives after ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that Democrat Senator Zell Miller's keynote address, supporting the Republican Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, at the 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention was a political and message crisis, an event that negatively affects a presidential campaign while skewing the Democratic party's proposed public image and message. The author points out that Miller, speaking of his family throughout the entire speech, expressed his worries for the future of America and the need for a strong leader who is not afraid to do what he thinks is right, even if that means going against most of the world. The paper relates that Miller viewed Democratic candidate John Kerry as a weak leader, who is incapable of using our military properly and efficiently, and whose strategies for solving the problems facing the country today, mainly terrorism, are lacking in aggressiveness and will not work.
From the Paper
"The message crisis will be expressed in different ways based upon the varying media sources. More liberal media and the Democratic Party will distort Sen. Miller's speech and present it as an older angry southern senator who is so conservative that his views are not that important or valid. The conservative media and the Republican Party however, will use Sen. Miller as a focal point, showing that a distinguished, experienced, knowledgeable democrat, seeing the reality of threats to our nation, and fear of the safety of his family, backs the Republican nominee, not the Democratic one."

Abstract
This paper examines the 2004 presidential campaigns of Kerry, Nader, and Bush, explaining how each addressed the issues of education, poverty and social security.
From the Paper
"Each of the three candidates for the presidency has easily distinguishable positions on three central issues, namely education social security and poverty... The American people deserve to know that the social security trust fund will be protected by the federal government at all costs... The president has failed the American people by ignoring the issue of poverty and focusing on tax cuts..."

Abstract
Music has influenced both written and verbal forms of discourse in our society since our nation was founded. The most significant of these has been music?s influence on political campaigns and speeches. The paper shows that the advent of the ?campaign song? has had a tremendous impact on political campaigns since President Washington was in office. The paper traces the use of popular songs in presidential campaigns from 1797 when John Adams popularized ?Star-Spangled Banner.? It continues with the impact television on the presidential song and looks at the more bizarre choices, such as Ronald Reagan's use of "Born in the U.S.A" by anti-Republican, Bruce Springsteen. The paper also touches on 'opposition' songs.
From the Paper
"Following Reagan, President George Bush Sr. picked campaign songs that were geared towards ?grandfatherly appeal with both ?God Bless the U.S.A.? and ?This Land is Your Land? - a Woody Guthrie song from 1940 repopularized in the 1960s.? (Segan) The song ?This Land is Your Land? features strange lyrics for a campaign song as well. ?One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple / By the relief office I saw my people / As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if / This land was made for you and me.? The most recent American Presidential campaigns, featuring Al Gore and George W. Bush, also used songs already written, which featured lyrics that were geared towards middle class and working class Americans."

Abstract
This paper aims to measure partisan bias in the New York Times relating to the 2008 presidential campaign through content analysis of articles concerning the presidential and vice-presidential candidates from the two major parties. It also details the writer's reviews of his own influences, the research methods he used, analysis that was done and the results that he came to.

Literature Reviews
Methodology
Results
Conclusion
From the Paper
"These conclusions are not what I expected to come to at the beginning of my work. I had anticipated finding that the New York Times would have significant liberal leanings. That always seems to be the popular theory. For the study, I needed to overcome my own personal biases. In addition to being a staunch liberal, I had held the belief that there is no such thing as a neutral news source, and that every media outlets was slanted in one direction or the other. While the research gave me reason to reconsider the New York Times having a heavy-handed liberal bias and all news sources being biased, it added new views of anti-authority bias to my outlook."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Former senator Bill Bradley announced his campaign for the Democrat nomination for President on September 8o1999 with a speech in his hometown Crystal City. The location of his announcement was particularly important in establishing the symbolism of this campaign. Bradley delivered his speech in front of the red-brick high school of his youth and spoke to a crowd of more than 2000 residents. He said he felt "an urgency to seize this moment in history, to strengthen the weak and to challenge the strong to lead us into our full greatness as nation". Bradley's selection of location to announce his candidacy and his rhetoric exemplifies the use of the myth of "the eternal return" in which "there was a time when things were perfect and harmonious" where "things could be shaped or molded as they were meant to be" (Larson, 1998, p. 218)."

From the Paper
"Announcing his bid to become the Democratic National candidate in the presidential election of 1984, the Rev. Jesse Jackson entered the limelight of American politics. His attempt to become the first black president was not only a historic move but a symbolic one as well. America never had to contend with a black candidate before; many people wondered if this country was ready for one. The Jackson candidacy turned out to be much more than just a race for the White House. With his motivating style, his political success abroad, and his effect on black political activism, Jackson caught the attention of Americans everywhere--Americans of all races and backgrounds. Although he made a few mistakes and earned much criticism, Jackson, with his charisma and character, opened the eyes of black and white voters alike ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the Thomas Patterson book "Out of Order," which takes the mainstream media to task for how it covers modern presidential campaigns. The paper concurs with Patterson's argument that the media has taken over many of the duties formerly handled by the political parties themselves, such as judging a candidate's qualifications and bridging the gap between candidates and voters. It is also critical of both the quantity and quality of the media's coverage, arguing that the incessant coverage of the polls and other "horse race" type stories discourage voters from paying attention more carefully.
From the Paper
"In the book Out of Order, a scathing critique of the failures of the current state of media coverage of presidential campaigns, author Thomas Patterson strongly disagrees with the notion that the news media serves as an adequate mechanism to deliver election news in a manner conducive to the demands of democracy. Instead, Patterson argues that the reforms of the McGovern-Fraser Commission inadvertently changed the role that the media is expected to fulfill in elections. With the decline of political parties as a force in the nomination process, the media is no longer expected to simply fill the role of watchdog. Instead, the media is now expected to play the dual role of the party as well, establishing candidates' fitness for office, and bridging the gap between candidates and voters as the party once did."

From the Paper
"In the 1980 presidential elections, Ronald Reagan trounced incumbent president Jimmy Carter in the biggest defeat of a president since Franklin D. Roosevelt overwhelmed Herbert Hoover in 1932. Though the American economy was in poor shape in 1980, the problems did not begin to approach the scale of the Great Depression, for which Hoover had been blamed. Nor can President Carter's ill-timed problems with foreign affairs receive all of the blame for his defeat. These factors played major roles in the election, but it was the sharp contrast between the candidates, in terms of ideas, images and campaigns, that resulted in the defeat of an incumbent president, and the election of one of the most popular leaders in American history. In all of these areas, Carter's failures were met by Reagan's successes. Carter was trapped by his 1976 campaign promises.."

The 2004 Presidential Election, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that Democrat John Kerry might raise taxes for all Americans as a means of securing many of the social programs, especially Social Security and Medicare. The author points out that, if Bush is reelected, he will continue in his efforts in the war on terror, which means a continued effort in pursuing terrorist organizations and dismantling them. The paper concludes that each candidate has a plan for America that focuses on different aspects, which is exactly why the arena of politics is so interesting.
From the Paper
"With the reelection of Bush, we can also count on a continued determined effort to protect the family. Bush has already stated his opinions on the gay marriage issue. If he is elected to another term, we can certainly look forward to an amendment to the constitution that would require marriage to be between and a woman and a man.
Bush has also expressed his opinions on stem cell research. If he is reelected to a second term, we can assume that he will remain committed to his belief that stem cell research will only be funded if the choice of life or death has already been made."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when Wesley K. Clark joined the already crowded field of Democratic presidential hopefuls, he offered the Democratic Party a strong candidate with a resume to make other candidates jealous; but his unclear opinion on the war in Iraq, his character, integrity, and temperament were questioned. The paper pointed out that the 2004 election was Richard Gephardt?s second run for the White House, giving him name recognition and a good fund-raising network. The author believes that, for a Democrat to win, the candidate will have to harp on the idea that Bush?s current domestic and international policies are failing, offer viable solutions, and address how they propose to pay for the changes they propose.
Table of Contents
Carol Moseley Braun
Wesley K. Clark
Howard Dean
Sen. John Edwards
Rep. Richard A. Gephardt
Sen. John F. Kerry
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich
Sen. Joseph Lieberman
Al Sharpton
George W. Bush
From the Paper
"On Carol Moseley Braun?s issues page on her web site she brings her commitment to women?s issues to the forefront. As an Illinois State Legislature, she fought for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and vows to continue fighting for the social justice for all people. Her view on issues includes a single-payer healthcare plan, long-term care and pensions for women and seeking ways for women to break the glass ceiling. She has come out against the war in Iraq, yet she believes that the troops should have American support since they are involved and should not leave. She is strongly against international policies of President Bush, stating his lack of international support for the war and failure to capture Osama bin Laden."

The 2004 Presidential Election, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the turnout during the election was up sharply, meaning that both parties did a good job mobilizing their base supporters, leaving the election to the swing voters. The author points out that issues such as gay marriage, pro-life and choice, the selection of Supreme Court justices, the fear of terrorist attacks and the economy played a huge role in how people voted. The paper argues that Bush's campaign simply did a better job at solidifying his base in the South and West with those "good old country values", while Kerry did some "flip-flopping" that hurt his campaign among the swing voters. Charts.
From the Paper
"Thus, in an election this close, one has to pay attention to the campaigns of each candidate. The nature of a campaign is to publicize its candidate and demonstrate his worth for office. Often times this worth is demonstrated simply by trying to prove one candidate better than the other. It has been proven, however, that campaigns do little to actually affect an election. Ideas of anchor partisanship and perceptual screening all feed into the idea that people are set in their views and already hold one candidate higher than the other. This preference plays itself out in a person's decision on all matters including a candidate's actions, speeches, and debates. In Appendix 2 we see how party lines influence our beliefs as to who actually won the presidential debates of 2004. Both candidates were declared victors by their respective party allegiances."

From the Paper
"Conducting a successful bid for the presidency is an arduous task at best, and there are many things to consider when beginning one?s election campaign. Media coverage, advertising, image and issues are just a few of the factors that work together to make or break a would-be president. How do you know how and when to focus on what?'

Republican Advertising Campaigns, 2002.
Examines advertising in America in the 1980s by focusing on two Republican political party advertisement campaigns.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by providing an historical background of the society in America in the 1980s and how advertising was geared towards this society. The writer explains that as older party and political structures declined, advertising became central to campaigns by the 1980s. In order to compare two advertising forms, the writer looks at two particularly effective campaigns, both by Republicans; one positive and one negative.
From the Paper
"The positive campaign, for the 1984 Reagan re-election campaign, had the theme "Morning in America." The specific images were forgettable enough--family picnics and the like, shot in a soft-focus flavor if not literally with soft focus, but the campaign achieved its enormous effectiveness from its background. The decade of the 1970s had been a dismal one for the United States, beginning with the Vietnam War and civil disorder, and ending with oil crises and the Iranian embassy hostage crisis. The central theme of the 1984 ad campaign was that Reagan, almost through sheer force of personality, had halted this national decline; we had passed through the dark night and under Reagan it was indeed Morning in America again."

The 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the 2004 Presidential elections were not as contentious as the 2000 election and may not go down in history as one of the worst election in history, it certainly changed the way many politicians look at elections and the way the Democratic Party will attack elections in the future. The author points out that the campaign issues were quite clear and quite emotional on both sides: President Bush ran on a conservative ticket, opposing moral issues such as gay-marriage, abortion and gun control: whereas, Senator Kerry's focused on the positive and was far more liberal on just about every issue, from gay marriage to foreign policy. The paper states that Senator Kerry's campaign could not rouse the American people as much as President Bush's could and it seems that many of Kerry's supporters and political advisors did not know how to advise Kerry; therefore, he seemed to "flip-flop" on many of his positions.
From the Paper
"Election week was a flurry of campaigning, political ads, and polls. In the Showdown States, many voters complained of numerous phone calls and in-person visits from both parties, along with many special interest groups who were employing every measure they could in a last ditch effort to elect their specific candidate. The polls showed the election was extremely close (nearly 50-50), and so, the campaigning was much more intense than many people remembered in previous years. The battle for electoral votes seemed all in Kerry's favor early in the election results, when many East Coast polls closed. Kerry won in many East Coast states, including New York and Massachusetts, but Bush carried the states in the Midwest, such as Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and of course, Ohio. These states tend to be more conservative in their outlook, and are traditionally Republican strongholds, and this was the case in 2004."

From the Paper
" The 1992 Republican presidential campaign was unsuccessful, and clearly its persuasive techniques were inadequate to overcome the perception that President Bush was not able to cope with the domestic problems that most concerned Americans. At the same time, he was seen as better able to cope with foreign affairs than was his opponent, Bill Clinton, but in a time of recession when there was no war in which America was directly involved, the domestic agenda held more sway than did foreign concerns. The campaign in 1988 had been successful in painting Michael Dukakis as incompetent in the face of rising crime, and the infamous Willie Horton ad (though not produced by the campaign) had been one of the persuasive techniques used to accomplish this and to make George Bush seem the candidate able to address this concern. In 1992, the Republican campaign centered on several images and.."
