    http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/02/20040204-2.html
    
    Extractions: During National African American History Month, we honor the heritage and accomplishments of African Americans and recognize their extraordinary contributions to the United States. African Americans have upheld the ideals of America, defended our homeland, and enriched American culture and society. Brave leaders such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Leon Sullivan caused America to examine its heart and to respect the dignity and equality of all people, regardless of race. Today, African Americans are leaders at the highest levels of the military, business, education, law, government, the arts, sports, and religion. To help share the stories of the millions of African Americans who have strengthened our country, I recently signed legislation establishing the National Museum of African American History and Culture as a part of the Smithsonian Institution. This museum will commemorate the triumphs of African Americans their determination in overcoming the evil of slavery and discrimination and their many achievements and contributions to our Nation.

    Ongoing poll results showing voter preferences and candidate awareness for the February 2004 presidential primary.

    Extractions: John Edwards continues to lead among likely Democratic primary voters in the February 3 South Carolina primary according to a survey conducted by the American Research Group. A total of 31% of voters say they will vote for Edwards and 24% say they will vote for John Kerry, with Wesley Clark, Al Sharpton, and Howard Dean tied for third place. Edwards continues to gain more votes than Kerry among those viewing both Edwards and Kerry favorably. These results are based on 600 completed telephone interviews among a statewide random sample of registered voters in South Carolina saying they will definitely vote in the Democratic presidential preference primary on February 3, 2004. The interviews were conducted January 31 and February 1, 2004. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of 600 is plus or minus 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

87. The Election Of 2000 | William E. Leuchtenburg
    Leuchtenburg article comparing the Bush and Gore voters and discussing the period surrounding the 1884 presidential election in the Newsletter of the Organization of american Historians.  
    http://www.oah.org/pubs/nl/2001feb/leuchtenburg.html
    
    Extractions: When in 1952 I inherited Allan Nevins's large course at Columbia on American political history since 1877, I found myself lecturing about that 1884 election. Fortunately, at an early stage, I got some sound advice. Lee Benson scoffed at the notion that you could interpret an election by looking at fewer than 600 ballots when many millions had been cast. One needed to examine the decision-making of the entire electorate, he said sensibly. Furthermore, each election had to be seen in relation to a generational pattern. The most significant feature of 1884, he emphasized, was that it was one of five contests in a row from 1876 to 1892 that turned on less than one percent of the popular vote. The historian's task was not to ruminate about bigoted parsons or muddy roads but to explain why that equilibrium had developed and why it persisted. This lesson was reinforced during many long, searching conversations with Warren Miller of the Survey Research Center in Ann Arbor when we were Fellows at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto in 1961-62. It was a lesson that in later years, when I wrote the presidential election night analysis for NBC, first for Huntley and Brinkley and then for John Chancellor, I bore constantly in mind. It is far from clear how one explains this equilibrium. The answer now most frequently heard is that Gore and Bush were so much candidates of the center that the electorate found it hard to distinguish between them. It was, in Ellen Goodman's words, "a campaign by two self-described moderates aiming to the center of the center of the undecided center of the country as if they were both trying to straddle a two-lane blacktop." George W. presented himself not as a snarling rightwing ideologue but as a man of compassion. Al Gore identified with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council and ran on a platform highlighting "fiscal responsibility" and support for the death penalty that, one White House correspondent said, "sounds as if it was written by the GOP." Maureen Dowd called the scuffle between a "matched set of dauphins," one a policy wonk, the other a frat boy who lacked gravitas, the "most banal race in history."

European Discovery of America 2-Vol Set Find Other Presidential Addresses Find by Year To you, fellow members, who have honored me by election to your presidency this year, I feel that I owe a sort of apologia pro vita mea , a statement of the beliefs and principles that have guided my teaching and writing during the thirty-eight years since my first article was published in the American Historical Review . I have nothing revolutionary or even novel to offer. Very early in my professional career I observed a certain frustration in a historian whom I greatly admired, Henry Adams, who had spent much time and thought searching for a "law of history." So I have cultivated the vast garden of human experience which is history, without troubling myself overmuch about laws, essential first causes, or how it is all coming out. My creed or confession is probably no different from that of the great majority of practicing historians in the Western world.

89. Know-Nothing Party
    Feature on this nineteenthcentury anti-immigrant and anti-Roman Catholic political party.  
    http://search.eb.com/elections/micro/324/88.html
    
    Extractions: byname of AMERICAN PARTY, U.S. political party that flourished in the 1850s. The Know-Nothing party was an outgrowth of the strong anti-immigrant and especially anti-Roman Catholic sentiment that started to manifest itself during the 1840s. A rising tide of immigrants, primarily Germans in the Midwest and Irish in the East, seemed to pose a threat to the economic and political security of native-born Protestant Americans. In 1849 the secret Order of the Star-Spangled Banner formed in New York City, and soon after lodges formed in nearly every other major American city. Members, when asked about their nativist organizations, were supposed to reply that they knew nothing, hence the name. As its membership and importance grew in the 1850s, the group slowly shed its clandestine character and took the official name American Party. As a national political entity, it called for restrictions on immigration, the exclusion of the foreign-born from voting or holding public office in the United States, and for a 21-year residency requirement for citizenship. By 1852 the Know-Nothing party was achieving phenomenal growth. It did very well that year in state and local elections, and with passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 it won additional adherents from the ranks of conservatives who could support neither the proslavery Democrats nor antislavery Republicans. When Congress assembled on Dec. 3, 1855, 43 representatives were avowed members of the Know-Nothing party.

    Extractions: Was an Active American Baptist Leader Harold E. Stassen, a long-active American Baptist who was best known to many as a frequent unsuccessful candidate for U.S. president but who was a nationally prominent political and educational leader in the 1940s and 1950s, died March 4 in Minnesota. He was 93. A life-long American Baptist, Stassen served in 1963 as president of the (then) American Baptist Convention. He was active in local church life, serving as a deacon at Second Baptist Church of Germantown (Philadelphia) and at Chevy Chase Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. He also represented the American Baptist Convention as a charter signer of the National Council of Churches of Christ at its formation in 1950. Although he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president on nine occasions over a 44-year period, Stassen was a serious challenger in 1948 to New York Governor Thomas Dewey, the eventual GOP nominee, and Ohio Senator Robert Taft. Long considered one of the leaders of the Republican moderate/liberal wing, Stassen frequently spoke out for progressive initiatives and peace causes.

Handbook of Texas Find Other Presidential Addresses Find by Year Two rifts I have been able to detect in this cloud of learning, two opportunities not yet pre-empted. The first is in the field of humor. Judging by the published addresses, one must conclude that historians are deadly serious when called upon to give testimony of their stewardship. There is, so far as I have been able to find, scarcely a glimmer of humor, hardly a particle of wit, and rarely a suggestion of an exuberant spirit in the whole collection. The historian, reading these addresses seventy-five years hence, will see that presidents had much learning, some wisdom, and no fun at all. Since I am not qualified, either by nature or by inclination, to fill this gap with a little laughter, I leave that joyous task to a bolder successor.

Indeed, each of our presidents has taken America on a slightly different voyagevoyages shaped largely by how each sitting president has defined the institution of the presidency. Some have been more bold and adventuresome than othersworking to mold public opinion and actively pushing their programs through Congress. Others have not ventured farfeeling that presidential intervention often causes more problems than it solves.
