Traits versus Issues: How Female Candidates Shape Coverage of Senate and Gubernatorial Races
As female candidates may face greater challenges in establishing their “qualifications” for office, coverage of their personal traits may be pernicious, because it tends to de-emphasize substantive qualifications. This study focuses on relative amounts of trait and issue coverage of contests with and without women candidates. We find that races with female candidates yield more coverage of traits than male versus male contests and races with fema…
Pro-Life, Pro-Woman? Frame Extension in the American Antiabortion Movement
This article argues that some leaders within the US antiabortion movement are pursuing a frame extension in order to attract new adherents to their cause. While the dominant rhetoric of the movement today focuses on the fetus and the immorality of abortion, pro-woman rhetoric has reemerged that leverages both the language of women's rights as well as science in order to propose that abortion is bad for women. The frame extension is evident outsid…
Bringing Out the Hook: Exit Talk in Media Coverage of Hillary Clinton and Past Presidential Campaigns
In this article the authors measure a phenomenon they name “exit talk”: the undertheorized pressures that second-place contenders for presidential nominations face to exit the race. Content analysis of media exit talk from the 2008 Clinton candidacy compared with that of key comparators from other modern presidential campaigns suggests that Clinton experienced greater levels of exit talk than her historical comparators, though less explicit press…
Republican Motherhood Redux: Women as Contingent Citizens in 21st Century America
This article examines the re-emergence of republican motherhood, once used to define the unique and conditional relationship between women and the state in the nineteenth century. By examining recent developments in federal and state abortion policy, I reveal the current trend toward “devolving” women's social and political citizenship rights to the states, where they will once again be highly variable and often contingent upon women's mothering …

The Upper Chamber Takes the High Road: Social Regulatory Policy and the U.S. Senate, 1953-2000
This article has two objectives: To further develop a policy type analysis of the consequences of divided government, and to bring the U.S. Senate more fully into the study of divided government. Based upon an analysis of 645 Key Votes taken in the U.S. Senate from 1953 to 2000, the article concludes that at least for the Senate, divided government has only a tenuous statistical relationship to policy type. This finding contradicts an earlier fin…
Losing Control: The Intraparty Consequences of Divided Government
Divided government scholarship focuses either on evaluating divided government's correlation to legislative gridlock or on its tendency toward interparty squabbling. I argue that one overlooked aspect of divided government is its impact on intraparty dynamics: Divided government offers the controlling congressional party incentives to raise controversial issues to damage the coherence of the president's party. Revealing the tensions within the pr…
Divided Government and the Rise of Social Regulation
Political scientists have debated the causes of divided government since the Reagan administration. In addition, a handful of scholars have also pondered the possible consequences of divided party rule for politics and policy. Still, one serious oversight in the divided‘government literature is the potential consequences of divided party rule for the types of policy pursued during divided and unified party regimes. Divided government may create i…
