	Lee Atwater - SourceWatch
		Atwater was a trusted advisor of U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
		Atwater's aggressive tactics were evident in 1980, when he was a consultant for Republican candidate Floyd Spence in his campaign for Congress against Democratic nominee Tom Turnipseed.
		Atwater's tactics in that campaign included push polling in the form of fake surveys by "independent pollsters" to "inform" white suburbanites that Turnipseed was a member of the NAACP.

	Lee Atwater
		Harvey Leroy "Lee" Atwater (February 26, 1951 - March 29, 1991) was a Republican National Committee chairman during the latter part of the 1980s.
		Atwater was a trusted advisor of both President Ronald Reagan and President George H. Bush.
		Those who opposed him described Atwater as "the Darth Vader of the Republican party", "the happy hatchet man", and "the guy who went negative for the sheer joy of it." At the same time, there is little doubt Atwater understood the politics of his generation, and how to act upon them.

	Lee Atwater and the Destruction of Black Music
		Lee Atwater was Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager during the 1980 presidential election and he had a huge influence over just where we are with today’s music.
		Lee Atwater knew that he could create vivid images via Ronald Reagan of a country where somehow lazy & shiftless welfare queens & kings with CETA jobs were somehow buying lobsters with food stamps donated by the poor & suffering white folks.
		Meanwhile Lee Atwater was saying that none of this was racist because he loved Black music and culture because he was a "Blues fan" and that "Blues" was "real/authentic Black music" (enter the "Blues Brothers"), as opposed to disco.

	washingtonpost.com: "I'm Still Lee Atwater"
		Lee said that he loved her, and there would be a place for the two of them together when this was over.
		Lee had made it his life work to understand his enemies, but not to the extent that he could empathize with them, because then he couldn't do what needed to be done.
		Lee's favorite spot at GW was the chapel, where he often went for a morning visit in his wheelchair to pray aloud.

	WHAT LEE ATWATER LEARNED AND THE LESSON FOR HIS PROTÉGÉS By Tom Turnipseed The Washington Post Tuesday
		Thanks to the late Lee Atwater, my electroshock treatments for adolescent depression 35 years ago have probably been the most publicized political incident of its kind since Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri was replaced as vice presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket in 1972, because he had a "nervous breakdown" in his past.
		Atwater, as you probably read in his recent obituaries, made me one of his targets on his way to establishing himself as a gunslinging political operative who exploited any perceived vulnerability in his opponent.
		Atwater's antics included phony polls by "independent pollsters" to "inform" white suburbanites that I was a member of the NAACP, because my congressman opponent was afraid to publicly say so, and last-minute letters from Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) warning voters that I would disarm America and turn it over to the liberals and Communists.

		Lee didn't really want another baby, either, but she was so adorable--now he found himself competing with her as well as with his dead brother for the attention that he craved.
		Lee was the emcee, the impresario, the delegator of wit and awards.
		Lee watched in wonder one day as his father dismantled an entire toilet to locate a face towel that had been flushed, accidentally to be sure, by Some Culprit in a hurry.

	My 3 Phone Calls In The Night From Lee Atwater
		I told Atwater I was as incredulous as on the day of our first encounter to discuss his burgeoning theological understanding of prayer.
		I paused before saying to Chairman Lee, "What is your understanding of what we're fighting for?" It was then his turn to pause before uttering a truism that has remained with me in all the years since.
		Years later I would leave the Republican Party in complete disgust, convinced (correctly I believe) that the European model of power and the insidious Statism it inevitably represents is so pervasive in both of the major political parties in America that the two groupings and their accompanying policies are virtually indistinguishable and mutually reprehensible.

	Lee Atwater's sorrow for the road taken \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Atwater was a mentor to Karl Rove, the current President Bush's longtime adviser, and the kinds of tough campaign tactics that have become common today are a key part of the late strategist's legacy.
		Like Atwater, Myers is a Southerner, and he felt a kinship with his subject when he began working on the play, not long after the death of the man who had risen to chairman of the Republican National Committee.
		Atwater was especially baffling because those who knew him best say he was no racist, and the way he lived his life seems to bear that out.

	Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and the GOP Legacy \| Redstate
		For those of you who may not remember Lee Atwater was a native South Carolinian who came into prominence as the chief political advisor to President Ronald Reagan.
		Granted Atwater had a much stronger candidate and President to work with in Reagan than Rove has had in Bush, but there are several fundamental differences in the way Atwater worked and Rove.
		Atwater was ruthless when it came to standing firm against the opposition and did not cave or compromise which has almost been a trade mark with many of the conservative ideals while Rove has been at the White House.

		Atwater was riding high, basking in the success of his meisterwork, running the 1988 Presidential campaign.
		As Lee was explaining some 'stops' in the Chuck Berry song (a tune I had played a billion times and knew cold), my eyes wandered, taking in the scene.
		It was this wandering attention that for a fleeting moment brought Atwater's native intensity to bear.
