Republican desertions could cost Bush -DAWN - International; 30 October, 2004 The erosion of Bush's Republican or conservative base appears to be part of a national phenomenon best illustrated by the fact that Kerry is securing considerably more newspaper endorsements than the president. The diminishing Republican moderates have also been joined by self-described "conservatives", many of whom say they voted for Bush in 2000 in the mistaken belief he would pursue what he called a "humble" foreign policy and remain loyal to the "small-government" principles at the core of US Republican conservatism since World War II. That is why the traditionally Republican New England states, Maine and New Hampshire, could very easily move into Kerry's column Tuesday, while former Republican state office-holders in the upper Midwest, another stronghold of moderate Republicanism, are now speaking out against Bush. www.dawn.com /2004/10/30/int10.htm   (895 words)

Washington and Lee Law Review: Judge Wisdom and the 1952 Republican National Convention: Ensuring victory for Eisenhower and a two-party system for Louisiana Tuttle's efforts so impressed the national Republican Party leaders that when John Wisdom asked Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in the winter of 1951, to recommend someone who had experience in a delegate challenge and who might be able to advise him in his nascent Eisenhower effort in Louisiana, Lodge immediately suggested Elbert Tuttle. In fact, when a lieutenant in the Eisenhower national campaign initially telephoned Wisdom to suggest that he organize the Louisiana effort, Wisdom assured the caller that the Eisenhower campaign in Louisiana was already months ahead of the national movement. Dewey, the titular leader of the party, was counted on to use his influence with the legion of Republicans that remained loyal to him. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3655/is_199601/ai_n8756283   (1385 words)

John J. Rhodes - Watergate Essay When I first met Richard Nixon at the 1952 Republican National Convention he did not seem destined for high political office, and his ascendancy to the national ticket came as a surprise. Agnew was a potent political force in 1973, propelled into national prominence by a series of hard-line speeches expressing the frustration of the middle class toward the “media and other privileged elitists.” His activities infuriated the Democrats, but enthralled Republicans and most independents. As a moderate Republican and supporter of the President, I was a willing enlistee to defend him against what I then thought was a politically motivated lynching by partisan enemies. www.asu.edu /lib/archives/rhodes/essay4.htm   (3108 words)

I say that just as in 1952 and in 1956 millions of Democrats will join us -- not because they are deserting their Party, but because their Party deserted them at Los Angeles two weeks ago. www.americanrhetoric.com /speeches/richardnixon1960rnc.htm   (4347 words)
