Presidential Campaign: A Communication Perspective
The 2008 Republican Nomination: John McCain as the Comeback Kid
John McCain won a comeback victory against great odds in the 2008 Grand Old Party presidential multicandidate race without a frontrunner. He capitalized on the winner-take-all Republican rules that awarded all of the delegates of a state to the candidate coming in first, even if winning by only a small plurality. Although he trailed several Republicans in money raised and in positive media coverage, he overcame these constraints by a strong leade…
Where the Votes Come from: Group Components of the 1988 Senate Vote
The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion
In this 1992 book John Zaller develops a comprehensive theory to explain how people acquire political information from elites and the mass media and convert it into political preferences. Using numerous specific examples, Zaller applies this theory to the dynamics of public opinion on a broad range of subjects, including domestic and foreign policy, trust in government, racial equality, and presidential approval, as well as voting behaviour in U.…

The results support the prediction that the use of inoculation via direct mail communication confers resistance to the influenc…

Economic Perception and Presidential Popularity: A Comment
Partisanship and Ideology in the Revenue Act of 1978
The Revenue Act of 1978 was basically a tax policy written in Congress and supported by a broad coalition of moderate and conservative Democrats uniting with Republicans.

Toward and Exploration of Comparative Foreign Policy Distance between the United States and Latin America: A Research Note
A concept of foreign policy distance is introduced and operationalized through an index based on indicators of imports, diplomatic contacts, UN voting, verbal conflict, and conflict behavior. The index is validated by testing its sensitivity to eight well-known cases of foreign policy distance involving the United States and Latin America. Utilizing the index, the authors identify 45 significant changes in distance in United States/Latin American…
