Notas do Editor
- This book (and us also) focuses on the electoral politics of electing a female president. The book does not really offer any hypothetical assessments on how women would act as president, beyond highlighting how stereotypes of this effect the possibility of being elected. The Executive office is MUCH MORE than the President. Your book does include some insights about women’s leadership in executive positions more broadly as a way to figure out if this is an indicator that cultural shifts are happening that allow for the election of a female president. We will talk more about women in executive branch more generally next Wed.
- I do want to highlight the electoral college, which is the institution through which we elect the president. The book is not always clear about whether they are referencing the popular election or the primary. Clearly Clinton was unable to secure the Democratic nomination, though the battle, I believe, was longer and harder fought than anyone expected. Your book is written from a skeptical position, and others at the time Clinton began her race thought she was a sure winner, even within such a large pack of candidates. Why is this? At one point she had strong backing from party elites. Only after the prospect of having the party divided between elite votes and rank and file votes (primary contests for pledged delegates) at the convention did elites seem to gravitate in higher numbers to commit to supporting Obama. History matters. Clinton had the largest bank of early money, but lost that lead as the election progressed to being in the hole. Why? Difference between fewer large donors, who maxed out donation (Clinton) and many smaller donors, who you could ask for more money later (Obama). We will talk more about money on Wed. Individual votes– recap the primary race. Delegates versus totals The book focuses on the popular election side, but there is another dimension to keep in the back of your mind…. The electoral college is what counts in the general election.

- From the Roper Center…. Could this change the efforts to get an overly masculine president?
- Using the analysis from the book… are these smart moves on the part of Hillary Clinton? Do you think they will be enough to counteract the cultural forces that the book highlights? Which?
- From the Roper Center
- Last time we spent a lot of time talking about the Electoral College, which is a central part of presidential elections, but is missing from this book. Remember that the president is not elected directly but instead is elected through the electoral college. Today we will talk about the other factors, starting with those aspects of a campaign that have the biggest impact on swaying individual votes. Then we will discuss money and party elites.
- I complied this from the Lexis Nexis Academic Universe search engine for news stories. Note that the blog section is a small slice of all blogging that happens. It is only those blogs attached to news sources that Lexis tracks. Note this is not coded for negative or positive coverage, but just simply an idea of the amount of coverage in the last six months.

- Gender– the cultural or social construction of sex. In our society is a division of the world into feminine and masculine, with a preferencing of masculine to hold power. Double bind– that to embody feminine counts against a woman because she doesn’t embody the traits of political institutions and to be too masculine counts against her since she is not upholding notions of what it is to be a woman. Transgendering– rendering an institution as being equally the purview of men and women. Allows women equal access and power. Great Man problem– our founding was based on the notion that women would be out and that not just any man, but a heroic one, would be the leader. Distrust of the common man.
- In light of shifting feelings of the War in Iraq but the escalation of our relations elsewhere (Iran and Turkey)…. Do you think these predictions hold true? Why?
- Do you think this prediction for the campaign trail is happening? How or why?
- Parties are not just the national entities, but also include state and local entities, which are separate.
- Obama did have about $1500 in pack money
- We talked about this a little last week. Is Clinton a “Masculine” candidate? Does this make her more acceptable to the Democratic party? In other words does she fit the profile in Conroy’s article?
- Social services, education….
