Election 2000
[ send me this paper ]

Final Days of the 2000 Presidential Campaign and George W. Bush
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the 2000 campaign for the presidency, focusing on George W. Bush and the ways that his style and messages have changed over the course of the political race. Both Vice President Al Gore and Governor George W. Bush made every effort to make their issues and their concerns appeal to as many people as possible. As the campaign strategists for Bush and Gore desperately calculated ways to win enough states to amass the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House, their strategies depend on reaching the greatest number of voters to assure that they win those voters’ states’ share of the electoral votes. For example, Bush’ trip to Minnesota, a Democratic stronghold demonstrates the ways in which Bush was willing to make every minute of the final weeks of the campaign count.

Governor Schwarzenegger
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Now that all is said and done, and Californians overwhelmingly ousted Governor Davis for Governor Schwarzenegger, what is in store for this admittedly inexperienced official and his eager constituents? Perhaps that is precisely the key to Arnold's success as the state's savior, inasmuch as political experience is what put California in its current economic pinch. That Arnold looks at the problems from a wholly divergent perspective than those with politically-colored glasses is reason enough to believe he will also approach resolution with just as much diversity. He thinks like a voter, responds like a voter and has a strong camaraderie with the voters; is it any wonder the voters chose him to dig their state out of economic demise?
