Lexington Books, 2006 - 183 Seiten
Maryland Politics and Political Communication, 1950-2005 is not a survey of all that occurred between 1950 and 2005. Rather, this book focuses on a set of interesting political events in which communication is a very important variable. These events, be they elections or episodes of governance, are also_arguably_the most dramatic ones during the period. It begins with an examination of George Wallace's 1964 and 1972 campaigns in the state's Democratic presidential primary, considers William Donald Schaefer's flamboyant communication strategies as Baltimore mayor and the vicious 1986 U.S. Senate campaign between Democrat Barbara Mikulski and Linda Chavez, and runs through the 2002 gubernatorial race between Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Robert L. Ehrlich. Sheckels highlights the similarities and differences between political communication at state and national levels and looks forward to questions and scenarios that may emerge in future elections.

Seite 51 - You were beguiled by the rationalizations of unity; you were intimidated by veiled threats; you were stung by accusations that you were "Mr. Charlie's boy,
Seite 53 - In our frailty and human selfishness, we have too often shut our minds and our consciences to our black countrymen. We need to respond to conscience rather than react to violence. We must aggressively move for progress— not out of fear of reprisal, but out of certain faith that it is right.
Seite 87 - The Mikulski-Chavez campaign has been assumed to be an exception to two "rules": attack advertisements work, and the attacked must respond. Upon close examination, the campaign proves not to be an exception at all. First, Chavez's attacks did, to some extent, work. Her initial wave of attack advertising (those targeting Mikulski as too liberal for Maryland) did cost Mikulski support.
