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 is at https://gov20h.blogspot.com/2025/08/gov-20h-syllabus-fall-2025.html

Obama's Grandmother
Today we examined factors that influence voter preferences. Since mainstream media had yet to publicize the death of Obama's grandmother, we could not discuss the subject during class.
Though speculating about the political advantages of Obama's personal tragedy disturbs me, to what extent do you think her passing will affect the decisions of certain voter demographics (if at all)?

Obama's grandmother dying is sad, but I doubt it will affect the election outcome.
