	A Limousine Republican - What made Nelson A. Rockefeller run? By Steven R. Weisman
		Rockefeller never won the presidency--despite all-out campaigns in 1964 and 1968--but he served as governor of New York for 12 years and then completed his public career as Gerald Ford's vice president.
		Rockefeller's addiction to living in an expensive realm of his own, for creating his own entourage, ultimately accounted for Gerald Ford's decision to toss Rockefeller overboard and pick Bob Dole as his running mate in 1976 (something that will presumably be discussed in Reich's next book).
		Nelson's urge to enter the public arena was partly the legacy of his father, whose Rockefeller Foundation helped create the modern science of philanthropy, though its underlying purpose was to expunge the malevolent connotations attached to the name of Rockefeller in the wake of the predations of the Standard Oil trust.

		This level of minority support is among the highest for any Republican in the nation, a throwback to the misty liberal Republican days of Rockefeller and Mayor John Lindsay.

		It is difficult to quantify the precise effect that $100 million can have on a tight race, but in the case of Rockefeller there was a saturation point at which his self-funding ads began to turn off some swing voters in his 1964 bid to run for president.

		Republicans like Rockefeller, who later served as vice president and died in 1979, were once the foundation of the party, when its political base was the Northeast and the Midwest instead of the South.
		The Rockefeller wing of the party was also known as the "Eastern Establishment" and had strong tendencies toward looking down on Republican elements in the Midwest and West.
		Rockefeller-style Republicans still win races down the ballot, for governor or the U.S. Senate, but they haven't had much of a chance at the White House nomination since 1964, a year when Rockefeller got his own comeuppance when he addressed the GOP convention.

	Pillage Idiot: A Rockefeller Republican
		For the benefit of those too young to remember Rocky, he was a multi-term governor of New York, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, and, briefly, the Vice President of the United States under Gerald Ford.
		In September 1976, when Rockefeller was VP and Ford was running with Bob Dole as his running mate, Rockefeller went to New York State to campaign for the ticket.
		In 1992, I came up with the idea of printing buttons with this photo on them and the legend "I'm a Rockefeller Republican." The idea was to flip (uh, sorry) the meaning of the term so that it signified a Republican who did conservative things without worrying about what the Washington Post thought.

		Today, the Republicans in Texas control every statewide elected office, yet it is hard to see much of a difference in policy matters from the time when centrist Democrats such as Lyndon Johnson, former Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, and the late Lt. Gov.
		Our two Republican senators include a pro-abortion Rockefeller Republican (Kay Hutchison) and a Bush loyalist (John Cornyn) who was the deciding vote as a Texas Supreme Court jurist in upholding Gov. Ann Richards' unconstitutional school-finance scheme (known as the "Robin Hood" plan).
		Fortunately, the Republicans took control of the Texas House of Representatives after the 2002 elections; led by a new wave of conservatives, the legislature (with support from the governor) slammed the brakes on state spending and entitlements in order to balance the budget without raising taxes.

		"Rockefeller Republican" is code for the voices in the party--a distinct minority--who hold moderate views on social issues like abortion or gun control, gay rights or the environment.

		Although nominally a Republican, Donaldson consistently sided with the two Democrats on the Commission rather than fellow Republican Commissioners Atkins and Glassman in a series of highly contentious 3-2 votes, all of which significantly increased the regulatory burden on securities firms and markets.
		Unlike Donaldson, whose old-style Rockefeller Republicanism was badly out-of-step with the Administration, Cox is a child of the Goldwater and, especially, the Reagan revolutions.
		Cox bills himself as "a leading advocate of economic growth through lower taxes, free enterprise, and limited government." The US Chamber of Commerce has repeatedly given his voting record very pro-business scores (well up in the 90s).

		Not only that, but it is virtually certain to provoke hosannas from Republicans of the "responsible" right as well as the moderate, Ripon-ish center: for Powell-mania transcends political categories and ideologies.
		The General is virtually immune to all criticism from Republicans, even though he favors affirmative action, as he stated clearly in his speech to the 1996 Republican convention, and is so mired in fl victimology that when a predominantly fl jury let off O. Simpson, Powell was quick to come to the jury's defense:
		Powell's identification with "Rockefeller Republicanism" is not just ideological: Joseph Persico, who ghostwrote the General's best-selling memoir, My American Journey, was one of Nelson Rockefeller's speechwriters, and author of The Imperial Rockefeller (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1982), a hagiography of his former employer.

		The Republican Party grew to modern dominance because of the Southern Strategy initiated by Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign (which also ended the dominance of the GOP by eastern liberal “Rockefeller Republicans”).
		Republican strategists see Southern Heritage as perhaps the party’s biggest obstacle to winning increased fl support, and they are as opposed to it as is the NAACP.
		Republicans have a very strong influence in Southern heritage organizations, so it’s easy for Party operatives to engage in disruptive tactics intended to mislead, manipulate, and divide individuals and organizations.
