Abstract

Televised presidential primary debates are highly important for partisans by providing unmediated information concerning candidate viability. Here the presumptive winner of a given primary may be indicated during debates through both the speaking time they are given and the audience response they elicit. Here I explore both candidate speaking time and audience laughter and applause by content, analyzing six 2012 Republican Party primary debates. Debate venue plays a significant role in determining applause and, to a lesser extent, laughter. There is also a negative relationship between candidate speaking time and audience laughter, suggesting an insurgent strategy for second-tier candidates. © 2014 Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We surveyed Iowa caucus goers and other Republicans to assess how representative the 2012 caucuses were of Republicans in Iowa. We find that demographically and ideologically, people reporting they would attend the caucus were quite similar to self-identified Iowa Republicans who said they would not caucus. We then model outcomes in Iowa and New Hampshire as a function of mass media expectations and find the model predicts Mitt Romney's Iowa vote share well but underpredicts Rick Santorum's Iowa result substantially. As in previous elections, we find national media attention shifted to a candidate ( Santorum) who the media overlooked prior to Iowa and that this likely made Santorum's eventual second-place finish possible. Romney strengthened his front-runner share of media attention by meeting expectations in Iowa and then winning New Hampshire. This study confirms research documenting the important influence that early states have in the nomination process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Jon M. Huntsman Jr. is moving his presidential campaign headquarters to New Hampshire from Florida, aides said Thursday, a decision that underscores that his path to the nomination is wholly dependent on trying to score an upset in the nation's first primary. The Huntsman campaign has been focusing intensively on New Hampshire for weeks, all but abandoning the three-state strategy that once included South Carolina and Florida. But the decision to close the Orlando office and relocate the staff to Manchester signals a new sense of urgency and is part of what one adviser characterized as a ''course correction.''
