About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Sarah Palin drawing big viewer numbers

Nielsen announced yesterday that Sarah Palin's speech drew 37 million viewers, just 1.1 million shy of Obama's numbers last week in Denver. McCain then topped Obama by 500,000 viewers with a speech that most people felt was bland. This is fantastic news for the Republicans, who have been struggling to find ways to get media attention. Clearly a big reason Palin was picked was her news value and it's paying off so far - she's been all over the headlines, and is newer on the national scene than Obama.

Nielsen's blog is fascinating, you should take a look.
