Race in the Race, 2008: Race-Baiting, Campaign Style
http://raceintherace2008.blogspot.com/2008/10/race-baiting-campaign-style.html
Race in the Race, 2008. Sunday, October 26, 2008. Race-Baiting, Campaign Style. Even when black candidates run campaigns in which they try to deemphasize race (See our post from three weeks ago), race often rears its ugly head in American political campaigns. While elections of yesteryear featured very explicit, virulent forms of racism, the most effective race-baiting of today is not an explicitly racist ad. In 2001 political scientist Tali Mendelberg published the book The Race Card. If Michael Dukakis...

http://raceintherace2008.blogspot.com/2008/12/was-election-of-obama-really-end-of.html
Race in the Race, 2008. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Was The Election Of Obama Really The End Of Black Politics? Although there is much speculation to this debate, the logical answer is no. The integration of the new generation of Black politicians into the political spectrum marks a progression in Black political leaders, not the obliteration of the Black political agenda. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. While Obama’s election does spell change, it does not spell the end of tr...It will...

Race in the Race, 2008. Friday, November 7, 2008. And the Winner Is. Last week we examined the Bradley effect, which had impacted a number of campaigns in previous history. Did the numbers suggest any suspicious deviations in the behavior of undecided voters? And what issues were most important to the electorate before pulling the lever? In the brief pause between now and January 20th, we have time to reflect on and digest the historic implications of this election. Obama managed victory in Virginia due ...

Race in the Race, 2008. Monday, September 29, 2008. Special 9/26 Debate Coverage. The first presidential debate always provides a new perspective on the prowess and legitimacy of each candidate.
