“…This is an important reminder of the Governor’s role in party and policy leadership. The Governor not only has a legislative program he is attempting to move through the legislature, but he is also widely expected to take positions on initiatives that arise from the members of the legislative branch, of both parties, and their constituencies (Morehouse, 1998; Ferguson, 2003; Kousser & Phillips, 2012; Bernick, 2016).…”

Not all aspects of a campaign are issue-oriented, nor are many voters. A candidate builds mass support largely by appearing warm, friendly, and likable, not only by propagating their viewpoints on controversial issues. Based on a prominent candidate’s Twitter accounts and the associated analytics, our research analyzes the online content and reaction to every post across a four-year period, both before and after a major general election. Twitter’s analytic measures demonstrate how a campaign uses social media to accomplish very different outreach goals. Warm and non-politically oriented messages attract broad support in the form of audience likes but are not retweeted with as much frequency as messages that are less liked but more politically pointed. The undeniable popularity of personal, earnest messages underscores the power of the social media platform to present candidates in an approachable and convivial way, despite the necessity of taking positions on difficult issues.

“…Yet even though governors are able to step in and shape state policy at crucial moments, they have been surprisingly neglected in the study of state policymaking (Barrilleaux & Berkman, 2003;Bernick, 2016;Ferguson, 2014;Kousser & Phillips, 2012;Thrower, 2019). A search for literature that puts Governor Sununu's vetoes into context both in time and across death penalty states, therefore, comes up short.…”

Dynamic rare decisions: gubernatorial vetoes and the death penalty, 1999–2018

For the last two decades, the death penalty in the US has steadily declined. During this time, governors have at rare but crucial moments participated in shaping the death penalty in their respective states by issuing vetoes. Gubernatorial vetoes have in some cases been used not only to prevent abolition from occurring, but also to bar the state from enacting legislation to expand it. However, little is known about what factors influence the decision to veto these often very controversial bills. Analysis of a unique dataset of death penalty bills covering years 1999-2018 suggests that a governor's individual attributes, as well as institutional factors, have an effect on the likelihood of a veto in the legislative context of the death penalty, with different aspects of time in office, experience and partisanship being of particular relevance.
