Analysis Of Claudia Tenney's Election

Barbara Jordan was a keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She mentioned that about 144 years ago that the members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a presidential candidate; since then, the democrats have continued to meet once every four years and nominate a presidential candidate. The convention is a continuation of that tradition; but, there is one thing that is something different that night – Barbara Jordan was the keynote speaker. In 1832, no one would have asked Barbara Jordan to deliver the speech, especially if it was a woman. She didn’t want to spend during her speech – having the time to praise the accomplishments of the Democratic and attacking the Republicans – and she didn’t

The election of 1800 was a fight between the democratic-republicans and the federalists party for presidency. It also became the first time in American History where there was a peaceful shift in the political party, from the federalists party to the democratic-republicans party (Jeffersonians). The election of 1800 consists of five candidates, each believing that victory by the other side would ruin their nation. The candidates were, Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson in the democratic-republican party, and John Adams, Charles Pinckney, and John Jay in the federalist party;

Firstly, she uses an unemotional tone to promote her credibility as a woman politician. Instead of using flowery language and going into a fit of hysteria, which the audience expected from a woman speaker, she used concise vocabulary and kept a level head. She speaks “briefly and simply” to also show the urgency of this crisis facing the nation. In addition, she states, “I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.” This shows the audience that she wants a Republican victory, but without using tactics of the Democrats. Margaret Chase Smith remains poised, proving this is not a fit of hysteria, which gains credibility from the American public.

CNN reported on Election Day that the economy was the most important issue to voters. The Democratic platform for the economy was to provide quick relief for the economy with a fifty billion dollar jumpstart. The Democrats also want to cut taxes for the middle class and end tax breaks for companies outsourcing jobs. Obama blamed deregulation for the financial crisis. The Republican platform for the economy consisted of making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent , increasing the international trade and building nuclear plants both of which will create new jobs (Woolley 2008).

Adams vs Jefferson, The Tumultuous Election of 1800, describes the events of the infamous United States Presidential Election of 1800, the election that forever changed the landscape of American politics and reestablished the principles of the American Revolution. The election of 1800 was a battle of two political powerhouses: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were two of America’s founding fathers who were once great friends, but were thrown against each other as adversaries with the future of America in their hands.

When Kelley was a young girl, her father, US Congressman William Darrow Kelley, exposed her to many social rights issues, such as women’s suffrage and abolition (Carson and Bonk). Talking about these issues from a young age inspired her to introduce many reforms and change others’ lives for the better when she became older. Many of her successes can be contributed to a lifetime of discussing politics at the dinner table. Had she not had these experiences from a young age, she may not have made so many significant changes to the country.

She was an active participant in her husband’s campaigns. “I made appointments for speaking, recruited speakers, answered newspaper attacks, contracted for the printing and distribution of circulars and sample ballots,” she recalled, “and more than all, kept a brave face to the foe and a smiling face to the almost exhausted candidate.” Her presence on the campaign trail—an unusual place to find a woman then—drew fire from William’s opponents. She would later recall, “I did not stop to think what a change this was for a young woman considered only an ornament and household mistress.” As William’s congressional secretary in “Washington City,” she managed her husband’s correspondence and speeches while writing columns for two local newspapers

Many people in the U.S. today feel as though the Electoral College is not needed, and is in fact doing more harm than good in our country. Clifton B. Parker, a writer for the Stanford News Service at Stanford University, is one such person. In his article, Now We Know Why It’s Time to Dump the Electoral College, he illustrates the cons of this institution by stating that it “distorts campaigns, disenfranchises voters, and drives partisanship.” In short, this can make it impossible for American’s to exercise their electoral voice.

Jon Cozart begins his satire of the 2016 political campaigns by targeting on Hillary Clinton first. In order to understand the claims, he makes in the piece it is necessary to have an understanding of all of the different events that were happening during the campaign. Without an understanding of the political climate throughout the campaigns, Cozart’s claims are not as potent. Specifically, in Hillary’s section he uses her focus on women’s rights and her reputation as shifty as the foundation for his argument. Jon Cozart believes Hillary to be power hungry and egotistical and uses rhetorical tropes and schemes to paint this picture of Hillary.

This source is influential for readers because they are able to learn about the struggles of race, gender, and capitalism in the 2008 election as well as economic equivalences. Jean Ait Belkhir is an associate professor of sociology at Southern University at New Orleans and University of New Orleans, and argues that gender and race matters regardless if you are a Democrat or Republican. Belkhir demonstrated that candidates in politics are usually white males, older of age, and upper class men. Throughout Belkhir articles, the reader will notice that the nation mindset is devoted that women do not belong in any authority regarding the government. However, Belkhir mentions two women who have changed the nation’s mindset, Sarah Palin and Hilary

Senators and House of Representatives members across the country are running for reelection. Without considering the cost of running for a Senator’s seat, beating an incumbent is a difficult hill to climb. Even with all of these obstacles, Katie McGinty has a strong foundation to run for Pennsylvania’s senator. She is a democrat who has big plans for her time in Congress. She is the best for senator for Pennsylvania because McGinty plans to raise the federal minimum wage and shows support for middle-class families. While never held office in Congress, she was chairwoman of an environmental quality council in the White House in the 90’s, so she has ample experience in dealing with policy and government matters.
