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

On the Fall of Scott Walker

An interesting analysis of Scott Walker's campaign, and the flaws in it that caused Walker's fall from grace. Written by a political reporter who followed him on the campaign trail.

Of course, there were the main reasons, like the shortage of campaign funds, debate blunders, and Trump. But there were other reasons as well. The article also gives some background to the main reasons.
