A presidential flop







A presidential flop

A presidential flop 08/31/2004 03:17 PM

At 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."

Because 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.

Arlen sez, "This site has (I think all) of the television ads from 1952 to the present. You can view them broken down by year, the type of commercial (BackFire, Biographical, Fear, Real-people). It is interesting that, while less slick, ads haven't changed all that much, and the rhetoric seems just as strong (at least to me). It is also quite amusing to see things such as Carter's ad accusing Reagan of being a Flip-Flopper on, of all things, nuclear proliferation." Link (Thanks, Arlen!)

BloggerCon: Presidential Bloggers


BloggerCon: Presidential Bloggers 04/09/2004 04:00 PM

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.
