News Media Coverage of the Vice-Presidential Selection Process: What's Wrong with the "Veepstakes"?
ISBN: 9783031281655 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book provides the first systematic, empirical analysis of the media’s approach to US vice-presidential selection (or the “veepstakes”). In their news coverage, Devine finds that media outlets typically treat vice-presidential selection as little more than a game—by focusing on how potential running mates might help to win the election, rather than how they might help the next president to govern. Based on an original content analysis of hundreds of veepstakes profiles from 2000–2020, this book quantifies the news media’s relative emphasis on various selection criteria, in...

ISBN: 9781784993375 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A widespread perception exists among political commentators, campaign operatives and presidential candidates that vice presidential (VP) running mates can deliver their home state's electoral votes in a presidential election. In recent elections, presidential campaigns have even changed their strategy in response to the perceived VP home state advantage. But is the advantage real? And could it decide a presidential election? In the most comprehensive analysis to date, Devine and Kopko demonstrate that the VP home state advantage is actually highly conditional and rarely decisive in the...
