Abstract
This paper analyzes the effect that television has on the voting public at the time of a presidential election. It focuses on how much viewers are influenced by what they see and hear on the television. The paper examines the question of whether or not voters make their decisions based on an understanding of the issues, or if issues no longer count in the presidential race, but rather votes are bought by professional image makers, pollsters and spin doctors.
From the Paper
"Since it first began, communication research has gone through a number of different phases. Early work sought to uncover evidence of a strong, direct media influence that led to changes in individuals' behavior. When voting studies in the 1940s and 1950s found that the findings were mixed on the effect of this persuasive influence, mass communications researchers focused on understanding more about the nature effects and the more subtle aspects of the mass media's influence."

United States Presidential Elections of 1824 and 1848, 2002.
The paper compares the elections of 1824 and 1848 in the United States and discusses the rise of mass Jacksonian Politics.

Abstract
The paper shows that a distinct political revolution occurred between the Presidential Elections of 1824 and 1848. This change is often referred to as the Jacksonian Revolution or the rise of mass politics. It discusses how the beginnings of these changes are seen in 1824, but would not be institutionalized as a part of every election campaign until 1848. The paper shows that the most notable differences between the Presidential Elections of 1824 and 1848 were the use of party identifications or the partisan nature of the papers, the way that editors and people who wrote editorials to the papers argued their points and the development of early forms of polling and political endorsements.
From the Paper
"During the 1824 Presidential Election there are few, if any, forms of polling, political endorsements, or advertisements, but they are all over the papers by the 1848 Presidential Election. Several unscientific polls are reported to the New York Herald regarding the 1848 Presidential Election during the six months leading up to the elections. ?Another Vote for Taylor ? On a late trip of the steamboat Herald, down the Illinois river, the vote for President was taken and stood as follows:- In the ladies? cabin, for Taylor 14; for Cass, 3. Gentlemen?s cabin, for Taylor, 43; Cass, 23.? "

From the Paper
"This study will investigate problems associated with the system of Presidential elections, dealing in general with the theory and structure of the Presidential election process, and specifically with the elections of 1980 and 1984 in which Ronald Reagan triumphed in landslide victories over Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale.
The most common criticism of the Presidential election process in the past (that is, before the advent of television, debates presented immediately to the nation as a whole, the emergence of the primaries, campaign lengths and costs, etc.) has centered on the Electoral College. The major criticism of the Electoral College has been that it serves as an impediment to the direct election of the President by the people.
However, as Cummings and Wise write, that was the very(...)"

"Analysis of the U.S. Presidential Elections of 1984 and 2000
Introduction - The Birth of the Two Party System
Prior to the election of 1840, America did not have a two-party political system. Federalists and Democratic-Republicans contested elections in the early republic, but they were more representations of class and regional power than political parties. From 1812 to 1824, during the "era of good feelings," there was only one political party, and Presidents James Madison and James Monroe ran virtually unopposed (Shulman, M1).
After a 4-year interregnum in which Andrew Jackson - the man who won the most electoral votes in the election of 1824 - was denied his victory in the House of Representatives in favor of John Quincy Adams, Jacksonian Democracy - a further development of..."

Abstract
One of the buzzwords in recent presidential elections has been "gender gap." Poll after poll, particularly in the past four presidential campaigns, have shown that men and women view candidates differently on the issues and vote accordingly. The gender gap, however, has been around for at least five decades, and we will study it here and learn how men and women tend to cast their ballots.

2000 Presidential Election, 2004.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the 2000 Presidential elections blurred the lines between the three branches of government and made expediency of more importance than rule of law. The paper also points out that, at the time the decision was made, the majority of the justices of the Supreme Court had been appointed by Republican presidents, either Reagan or Bush Sr. The paper also talks about the importance of precedence in Supreme Court rulings and how the decision made by the Supreme Court on the 2000 elections will have a ?trickle down? effect not only on subsequent sitting Supreme Court decisions, but on the character of decisions made generally in the courts of the United States.
From the Paper
"The dissenting opinions make it clear that the dissenters were acting on the principles set out in the Constitution, and according to the proper Constitutional structure and field of action of each branch of government. Justice Souter, agreeing with Justices Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer, noted that the three issues before them were ?straightforward.? Among those issues were whether the Florida Supreme Court?s interpretation of the election results violated a state law; whether the Florida Supreme Court had exceeded its powers in allowing a recount, and that those powers should have resided in the state?s legislature, and; whether the variety of standards for interpreting the hard-to-read ballots constituted violation of equal protection or due process. Souter dismissed that third claim out of hand."

From the Paper
"The Electoral College has served its purpose under the Constitution for more than 150 years. It has operated quietly, smoothly and effectively, so much so that the general public is hardly aware of its existence except when there is a close election (Hoffman, 935).
The most complicated bit of governmental machinery which the modern world has to exhibit is that which is employed in the selection of the chief executive officer...for the United States...It is almost marvelous that any people should have preserved political unity for a century under such a loose and decentralized system of election of its chief..."

From the Paper
"The election in Taiwan in March 2000 was significant because it involved the first time in the history of the Republic of China that power had changed from the traditional ruling party, the Kuomintang or KMT, to another party, the Democratic Progressive Party, which had very different policies for the governing of the nation and its relations with mainland China and the rest of the world. Examining the change of power between the Clinton Administration and the coming Bush Administration as a result of Campaign 2000 may reveal some interesting information regarding the role of media and the changeover between parties."

The 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the 2004 Presidential elections were not as contentious as the 2000 election and may not go down in history as one of the worst election in history, it certainly changed the way many politicians look at elections and the way the Democratic Party will attack elections in the future. The author points out that the campaign issues were quite clear and quite emotional on both sides: President Bush ran on a conservative ticket, opposing moral issues such as gay-marriage, abortion and gun control: whereas, Senator Kerry's focused on the positive and was far more liberal on just about every issue, from gay marriage to foreign policy. The paper states that Senator Kerry's campaign could not rouse the American people as much as President Bush's could and it seems that many of Kerry's supporters and political advisors did not know how to advise Kerry; therefore, he seemed to "flip-flop" on many of his positions.
From the Paper
"Election week was a flurry of campaigning, political ads, and polls. In the Showdown States, many voters complained of numerous phone calls and in-person visits from both parties, along with many special interest groups who were employing every measure they could in a last ditch effort to elect their specific candidate. The polls showed the election was extremely close (nearly 50-50), and so, the campaigning was much more intense than many people remembered in previous years. The battle for electoral votes seemed all in Kerry's favor early in the election results, when many East Coast polls closed. Kerry won in many East Coast states, including New York and Massachusetts, but Bush carried the states in the Midwest, such as Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and of course, Ohio. These states tend to be more conservative in their outlook, and are traditionally Republican strongholds, and this was the case in 2004."

Abstract
The paper examines the most recent American elections and the relationship between the candidates and the media, specifically the Clinton and Dole election campaigns of 1996. The paper also discusses how the candidates were treated by the news media.
From the Paper
"Life on the campaign trail has often been likened to life inside a bubble with journalists trapped inside a mechanism that doesn?t let much contact with the outside world filter through. Long days and long weeks of living within the campaign environment, following the schedules each candidate has laid out, taking pictures only when you are told it is okay to do so; as one author puts it journalists are ?invariably sucked in by the campaign?s gravitational pull, ever struggling with the loss of perspective that threatens to portray campaign news with a refracting lens.? In this one perspective journalists have historically been too involved in the campaign, and too controlled by it. News media, most prolifically the television news media, have been forced to rely heavily on the campaign for a good portion of their information. When a campaign is run with media savvy, knowing the restraints and deadlines journalists face, it is that much easier to get your candidate?s ?message? on the air."
