PANEL: Image marketing made a difference in election, panel says
voted for him, as opposed to the 89 percent of Democrats who voted for U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.).
He also said that religion played a large role.
Democrats missed an opportunity to succeed, said Bill Lacy, director of the Institute and former republican strategist.
"Across the board it shows that this is a nation of faith." Newhouse said, citing numbers that said 53 percent of Americans believe in Biblical creationism as opposed to 30 percent believing in evolution as the beginning of life.
"One thing that's fundamental is that George Bush went into the election with lots of problems, and John Kerry, for whatever reason, didn't take advantage of that," he said.
Steven Jacques, former advance and communications advisor for Kerry's campaign, said the Bush camp did a better job of using consumer marketing techniques to its advantage.
He said Bush did a good job of portraying himself as a strong, resolute and moral candidate, while Kerry was portrayed as a wobbler and someone you couldn't trust.
"This campaign was a great example of style over substance," he said. "People vote on feelings, not issues."
The discussion was followed by a question and answer session with the 130 audience members.
One audience member asked
the panel to name some potential republican presidential candidates for 2008.
Newhouse said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R.Tenn.) was a possibility, along with George Pataki, governor of New York, former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, along with other senior senators.
Lacy said the field was wide open, citing a recent trend away from naming candidates from the Republican Party who had run before, noting that Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon had all run for the presidency before being nominated as their party's choice.
Brett Johnson, Omaha, Neb. senior, said she enjoyed the presentation.
"The Democrats need to have a better plan on the issues," the political science major said.
She said she liked the polling numbers, but wished there had been an independent pollster.
"The Democrats lost because of their lack of a clear media strategy," said Stuewe, who worked for the Kerry campaign.
Elizabeth Burshey, Jennifer freshman, said she attended the event because she wanted to hear an intelligent analysis of the election results.
"I liked the interaction between the panelists," she said. "They all had substantial facts to back up their opinions."
