About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of the presidency, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Tactics in Presidential Elections

The best archive of presidential campaign ad is The Living Room Candidate. A good source of current spots (with some historical ads) is 4President.

Some moments from presidential debates. And a vice presidential debate: Bentsen-Quayle 1988.

Who voted for Bush and Kerry? See here for the exit poll.

Though the election was close nationwide, it was not close in most localities. See the graph of landslide counties.
