The Political Scientist as Local Campaign Consultant
During my 45 years as an academic, I have followed the admonition sometimes attributed to the legendary Jedi warrior Obi-Wan Kenobe that political scientists should “use [their] power for good and not for evil.” In this spirit, I have devoted substantial portions of my career to public service by providing strategic advice and campaign management to candidates for small state and local elective offices—state legislature, county commission, city c…
Verbal Style, Gubernatorial Strategies, and Legislative Success
This article examines the relationship between a governor's verbal style and his success in achieving his legislative goals. We add a measure of verbal style developed by Roderick Hart to a traditional model used by scholars of political chief executives to explain legislative success. We apply this model to the State of the State addresses of six governors of Florida who served between 1966 and 2006. Our findings reflect the validity of the trui…
Welfare to Web to Work
This study provides the first empirical test of whether searching for jobs on the Internet can help people gain access to high quality jobs. Using new data from former welfare clients in Florida, we present results from a multivariate regression analysis of Internet job searching on wages and on a number of job benefits. On average, Internet job searchers receive better jobs than people who conducted more traditional job searches, net of numerous…
Accountability and Performance in Charter Schools in Florida
This paper utilizes the framework of program theory evaluation to assess the operation of charter schools in Florida in the 1999-2000 school year. Charter school theory is modeled and a series of hypotheses are developed about the linkages expected to produce the primary program outcomes, improved student academic performance and change in the operations of regular public schools. The hypotheses are evaluated with quantitative and qualitative dat…
Political Events in a Model of Gubernatorial Approval
Research on the public approval of American governors has focused almost exclusively on the impact of economic conditions on fluctuations in such approval. This article adds events variables to a model of gubernatorial public approval including the more commonly used economic variables, and tests this model in a time-series analysis in three states. The results suggest that the effect of political events is minimal and mixed. Furthermore, the ana…
Finding Employment and Staying Employed After Leaving Welfare
This paper examines the impact of transportation, childcare, and illness on the ability of former welfare recipients to secure employment and to maintain employment once more “distal” or structural factors are controlled. The impact of these variables on gaining and keeping employment is evaluated in a series of probit regression models. The analysis suggests that the current labor market has transformed securing and maintaining employment into t…
Gubernatorial Leadership
This article provides an empirical test of a model of gubernatorial leadership. The model includes personal, political, institutional and environmental factors that leadership theorists have asserted are important to leadership success. Utilizing a longitudinal design, ordinary least squares regression is employed to relate these variables to two distinctive measures of leadership success: one quantitative, one perceptual. The explanatory value o…
Gubernatorial popularity in three states
This article develops and tests a model of gubernatorial popularity. Using data from three state polls in California, Iowa and Minnesota, we examine the relative importance of state-level and national-level political and economic developments for approval ratings of governors in these states. We also investigate the degree to which governors are held accountable for the performance of their party when it controls the White House. We demonstrate t…

The Policy Impact of Reapportionment
A considerable amount of conflict has been generated over the selection of legal standards for legislative apportionment. Prior to 1962, seats in state legislatures were generally assigned to counties. In some houses of some state legislatures, a limited number of additional seats were given to the most populated districts. Population (size) was seldom used, however, either as the sole basis for designing districts or as the sole basis for determ…
