You are required to write a term paper which is due at the end of the course on the date specified on the syllabus. Choose one presidential campaign of an American president and explain why they won or lost. For example, you might choose to discuss Ronald Reagans failed presidential campaign of 1976 or his successful 1984 campaign. Your paper should be structured in the following way: Introduction In 1-2 paragraphs explain why the candidate won or lost. State your argument and briefly explain your reasons/evidence. Tell the reader what your paper will show. Relationship to the Political Regime This will comprise the body of your paper. Explain how the candidates presidential run fits into the typology of presidential leadership: reconstructive, articulative, disjunctive, or preemptive. For example, Reagans 1976 campaign was preemptive but his 1984 campaign was reconstructive. Give examples from the candidacy or campaign (nomination and/or general election phase) that illustrate your argument. Consider such factors, where appropriate, as opponents, fundraising, staff, advertising, issues, debates, primaries won/lost, delegate counts at the convention, and convention speech, among other things. Include electoral and popular vote totals. Conclusion What have we learned from this candidates campaign? What could the candidate have done differently in order to win or what was key to their victory? How important was timing (when they ran) for their success or failure?
