Government and Politics: A Case Study of Campbell County, Kentucky
Campbell County, Kentucky offers a very interesting case study of politics at work. The many different variables that can possibly affect how counties as a whole vote are present in Campbell County, and the interplay between all these variables is the topic of this paper. In order to accurately predict the outcome of the election, it is important to be familiar with all the different socio-economic factors that influence the daily lives of the people who are pulling the levers in the voting booths. This paper will give a brief description of Campbell County, followed by a survey of how they have voted in the past eight Presidential Elections. The best kind of presidential candidates for this county will be discussed, the results of the 1996 Presidential Elections, as well as what the different parties are doing in Campbell County in order to achieve better results. As a result of the analysis that was required for this paper, I will show sufficient evidence to support my conclusion that George W. Bush will win Campbell County over Al Gore by a margin of 54% - 44%.
Campbell County, Kentucky is located in the very northern part of the state, almost directly beneath Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact, many of the residents of Campbell County commute to work in Cincinnati. The 1994 population of Campbell County was 85,034 with 82.4% living in urban areas and 17.6% living in rural areas. Most of those urban areas are almost suburbs of Cincinnati. The county is 152 square miles in area with 561 people per square mile. There is very little ethnic diversity in this county with 97.1% of the population white. The largest city in Campbell County is Newport with a population of 18,871. There is only one hospital in the county, St. Luke's in Newport, which is a major employer in the county. Due to its close proximity to Cincinnati, Newport was at one time a major nightlife area for residents of Cincinnati, with many clubs and bars. To this day, Newport is trying to live down its nickname of "Sin City," which was given to it by the conservative residents of the surrounding counties.
Campbell County, being in Kentucky, is in one of the most bipartisan states in the country . The Democrats have won Kentucky in the last two presidential elections in 1996 and 1992 by four percentage points and one percentage point, respectively.

American states each have individual political cultures which are important to our understanding of their political environments, behavior, and responses to particular issues. While voters probably do not consciously think about political culture and conform to that culture on election day, they seem to form cohesive clusters in different areas of the state, creating similar group political ideologies. Because of these similarities, it is possible to measure the dominant political culture within states or areas of a state, gaining insight into the mind-set of state residents. Whatever the state culture, whether liberal or conservative, participatory or exclusive, political culture identifies dominant, state-wide trends. The question remains whether there is an accurate way to measure this political culture phenomenon in the United States.
While his memoir is over 20 years old, I was curious concerning whether Georgia has continued to be a two-party state or whether they have gone back to being a one-party state. I found that, after 2002, Republicans began to control the state elections in Georgia due to their hold on voters in the rural south. While Republicans have dominated now dominated the Democrats in Georgia elections, it doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t still compromise and work together to help create more opportunities for their underprivileged residents.
In the Reading “Cowboy Conservatism” Cunningham spoke on how the Democratic Party left Texas because of the change in what it stood for. The Democratic Party went from being very conservative to becoming liberal. In order for a party to win you have to appeal to the people who will be voting for your party, therefore depending on the views a certain state has can have a huge effect on the outcome. The Republican Party in the 20th century is the major political party of Texas but as we read and discussed in class, that can very well change this election. There are more minority’s in Texas than there has ever been in the past years. The Hispanic population is continuously growing and it was shown that and good amount of them voted for the Democratic Party. If Republican are not able to appeal to the Minority voters in Texas, it will be the end of the Republican Party as a whole. The Republican Party needs to make sure that they know what they stand for and what they will offer to Americans especially
In the United States, for the last four decades, from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan through the two Bush Presidencies, the Republican Party won the White House by amassing large margins among white voters (Lizza.) The state of Texas has been reliably Republican since the 1970s and there are various elements to Texas political culture that can be narrowed down to three essential ideological trends: economic liberalism, or faith in the free market economy, social conservatism, or favoring traditional values and moralism, and populism, or promoting the rights and worthiness of ordinary people (Texas Political Culture.) As a result, the dominant political mood in Texas favors low taxes, minimal government services, and policies that are pro-business. This phenomenon is not static, however, since changing demographics in the state are causing changes in the profile of Texas in reference to electoral politics, among other major issues. This paper will explore different perspectives about the changing demographics of Texas, and where they might lead the state politically, and will present a variety of viewpoints regarding this complex subject.

In Twelfth Night, the major characters can all be compared to stock Commedia characters. I will focus on Feste and Malvolio. Arlecchino is the most renowned commedia dell'arte character in history and has become the model for fools, clowns, and mimes. From dress to action to wit to manners, it is the mischievous nature of this character type that many play writes draw from when creating the role of the fool. Servants outmaneuver master. This seems to be Arlecchino’s viewpoint of life.
