A
history of presidential campaign commercials, 1952-2000
In 1968, presidential candidate Richard Nixon was sitting in the
office of Roger Ailes, a producer on The Mike Douglas Show, before a
taping of the program. Nixon remarked, "It's too bad a guy has to
rely on a gimmick like television to get elected." Ailes
responded, "Television is no gimmick, and nobody will ever be
elected to major office again without presenting themselves well on
it." This is an exhibition from the
American Museum of the Moving Image
which provides the advertising spots of the candidates for US
president.

A presidential flop
A presidential flop
08/31/2004 03:17 PMAt the "GOP Marketplace" at the New York Hilton, a pro-Bush bazaar of
sorts, one entrepreneur sells the inevitable $15 John Kerry
flip-flops, actual thong sandals with his "for" positions scribbled on
one shoe and his "against" positions on the other. Flip-flipping
tchotchkes abound here. There are flip-flop playing cards. Little
flip-flop pins for ladies' sweaters. You get the idea. But the
delegates having fun with the Kerry "flip-flop" cliche at this
convention have run into a snag: Their own candidate, sold everywhere
here as "resolute," "steady," and "decisive," can't seem to figure out
whether we can win the "war on terror."

01/28/2004 03:25 AMBecause no one can make up their mind any more without the support of
a computer telling them it's okay, there are now
a ton of websites
out there where you can answer a bunch of multiple choice questions
and it will tell you who to vote for. Of course, all three
"tests" linked from the article had very bad questions that painted
certain issues in very black and white tones - without getting into
the reasons why these issues are complex issues that can't be answered
with a simple "oppose" or "favor". Also, I wonder how useful any of
them are - since each one gave me very different results. Maybe that
means I shouldn't vote and should leave such things up to those who do
see complex issues as black and white.

gathering on presidential blogging. Two observations:
John Kerry campaign blog
postings are signed by Dick Bell, official blogger. The George Bush campaign blog postings are
signed in a corporate way, by the campaign.
On the other hand, Bush's blog seems to point outside more often
-- a more Web-like thing to do.
Is Presidential Election Spam On The
Way?
Is Presidential Election Spam On The
Way?
09/09/2004 03:51 AM
Are you ready for that political spam? An anti-spam company is now
estimating that the US presidential election will ge
nerate 1.25 billion political emails this year, and notes that the
campaigns already have access to 25 million email addresses. Of
course, both of these claims could use further explanation. As the
article goes on to note, those 25 million email addresses are often
held by companies who refuse to give them to the campaigns. If that's
the case, why are they included in this stat in the first place?
Furthermore, the way the article is laid out, you would think that all
of the messages are unwanted, but the details suggest that they're
including opt-in messages from the campaigns. So, when you boil the
numbers down, it's really not nearly as bad as the article makes it
out to be at first. There are still likely to be some mistakes made
with presidential campaign emails, but this article suggests there's a
problem where there might not be any.

boring and amateur. Chrétien, Martin, those right-wing wingnuts

Sorry, but the NFL is where the pros play: Bush, Rove, Dean, Clinton
(both of 'em), Grover Norquist ... deep benches on both sides
(unfortunately, the Republican bench has been deeper than the Dems for
a while now); that's the game I watch. That's what I'd like...

Four years ago, almost no one would have connected the words
"presidential" and "weblog" -- the very notion would have seemed
bizarre. No longer.
At next week's BloggerCon, I
propose to look at presidential weblogs from four perspectives:
Official campaign blogs. Should candidates do their own postings
(do they have time)? Are campaign blogs serving internal needs, or
informing the electorate, or both? What makes a campaign blog work, or
not?
Affiliated blogs. A new generation of political activists is
pushing voters and money toward the campaigns. How closely tied can
(or should) campaigns be to their supporters? Is central control a
given, or will the authority ultimately devolve to the edges as it
supposedly did in the Dean campaign, at least for a while? What are
the opportunities and risks? (Even linking seems to be in play these
days. Jay Rosen analyses the Daily Kos furor here.)
Commentator blogs. Political reporters are derelict if they don't
read, among others, Glenn
Reynolds and Josh
Marshall. What effect is the new-media commentariat having on the
political process?
Missing links. Do we need more bloggers who avoid commentary and
focus on facts? Maybe we need more issue-oriented blogs, going way
beyond the something-for-everyone position papers that candidates post
on websites. How about a health-care blog where someone tracks
everything the candidates say about this issue? In general, how can
the blogosphere improve the political process?
We're expecting several campaign bloggers (official and otherwise) to
join us in Cambridge next Saturday. Remember, the session is not about
what I think. It's about what we can come up with together. You can
help by posting some comments here or on the BloggerCon site, and by
suggesting new questions.

great transition from pre- to post-Cold War that happened so
unimaginably fast, starting in 1989, before our watching eyes. But the
History of the Present is what bloggers are writing, too; and Ash says
some things that anyone who’s doing it should consider very

Should we pay attention to the

Should we pay attention to the
Democratic Presidential candidates on TV
(or anywhere)?
01/22/2004 02:13 AM
Flip on the television these days and instead of an entertaining
comedy one will often find news coverage of the Democratic
Presidential primaries. Should we pay attention to the speeches
and commentary? Perhaps the Web Age has relieved us of the need
to sit and watch these men in real time.
Let's look at http://www.deanforamerica.com/, for example. A quick read of the "on the issues" section is
more informative than 100 hours of TV coverage. Here are some
things that I noticed...
His "job creation plan" (under "economy") proposes to make sure
that broadband Internet access is "available" in rural
areas. Given that it is already possible to get two-way
high-speed satellite Internet at a reasonable cost ($70/month, a touch
more than the $50/month that urbanites pay for cable modems) anywhere
in the Lower 48 and has been for several years, this presumably means
that Dean wants to subsidize politically powerful people who live in
underpopulated farm states. So basically Dean wants to shovel
more money from people who live in cities to people who live on
farms... just like every other American politician. Dean doesn't
propose to invest in anything new, e.g., a wireless Internet
infrastructure.
Dean has an extensive section on K-12 education. Whenever a
federal politician talks about what he is going to do for America's
schools you can be sure that he is lying. The federal government
pays only about 7% of the cost of K-12 education in this country and
therefore has almost no control over what happens in our
classrooms. Pity the poor teacher in her classroom. She
has to answer to the vice-principals and principal of her
school. She has to answer to the superintendent of her city or
county. She has to answer to a skyscraper full of bureaucrats in
her state's central education administration. And then all of
them have to answer to the federal U.S. Department of Education, all
of whose employees answer in turn to their Secretary who answers in
his or her turn to the President. There are more layers of
management above a K-12 teacher than above an assembly-line worker at
GM or Toyota, which makes sense until you reflect that it takes
$billions in capital investment to build a car whereas plenty of
brilliant people were educated at their parents' kitchen table.
Honest politicians generally start from the position that the federal
Department of Education should be abolished. Then they show up
in Washington and find that this isn't political acceptable so they
try to curb its growth. The dishonest ones make a lot of
promises about what they are personally going to do, sitting at their
desk in the White House, for a kid in a classroom in Peoria, whose
school is almost entirely funded by local taxpayers.
On foreign policy Howard Dean complains that the Bush
Administration has "disengaged" from meddling in the 55-year-old war
between the Arab nations and Israel. His proposed
solution? "The Israeli government will have to work to improve
the living conditions of the Palestinian people". This is a
tough goal given that the Palestinians have a 5% annual population
growth rate; the Israelis would have to somehow generate more than 5%
annual GDP growth among the Palestinians, many of whom are illiterate
(a 5% annual GDP growth rate is something
that we Americans are unable to achieve for ourselves,
despite the fact that we have almost unlimited capital and a
well-educated citizenry). The U.S. meanwhile will "have to take
responsibility with its international partners for helping the
Palestinians establish a middle-class democratic society in which
women fully participate in economic and political
decision-making." (See http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/20
01793273_honorkilling17.html for a story on women's status
within present-day Palestinian society.)
Under Energy/Clean Air, Dean says "To reduce oil consumption and
global warming emissions, Governor Dean believes we should increase
the average fuel economy standard to approximately 40 miles per gallon
for all automobiles, including SUVs and minivans." This might
have some effect on the environment circa 2020 but it doesn't do
anything to discourage people from driving their 2004 model year
monster SUVs. An economist would chuck all of Dean's complex
proposals in favor of a $10/barrel tax on oil, a $20/barrel tax on
imported oil, and some sort of tax on pollution.
It would appear that a thoughtful voter could easily write off
Howard Dean as a non-entity after spending 30 minutes at his Web
site. And perhaps this process can be repeated for the other
candidates. Are there any Dean supporters who would care to use
the comments section to note brilliant ideas from the Howard Dean
campaign that I've overlooked? And would one have been more
likely to discover these ideas watching Dean on TV rather than looking
at his Web site?
