From Front Porch to Webcast: The History and Impact of Spouses in Presidential
Campaigns
2008 Symposium
National First Ladies Museum
331 S. Market Avenue
Canton, Ohio 44702
www.firstladies.org
5/17/2008
The agenda of the 2008 Symposium is to provide a historical context of important past presidential elections in which the lives, opinions, perceptions and influences of spouses played a central role in the election of their spouses (1828, 1940, 1964, 1976). The 2008 Symposium will also strive to provide a fuller sense of the various roles carried out by the 2008 spouses of presidential candidates, whether that is by: a) directly assuming the role of spokesperson, substitute-candidate, advisor, caretaker on their own, by dependence of their spouses, or by calculation of advisors b) being assigned a symbolic gender, or political role; by media coverage, public commentary in print, broadcast, or online. Featured panelists will be Eleanor Clift, Dianne Bystrom, Evan Cornog, Annette Dunlap, Mary Finch Hoyt, Connie Schultz, and Karen Tumulty. 330-452-0876

6/1/2008 – 8/31/2008
Presidential campaigns that celebrate our freedom to choose a leader by election of the people are events unique to our country. It is an expectant, exciting time – a promise kept by the Constitution for a better future. Rituals developed over time and became traditions of presidential hopefuls – the campaign slogans and songs, hundreds of speeches, thousands of handshakes, the countless miles of travel across the country to meet voters - all reported by the ever-present media. The candidate must do a balancing act as leader and entertainer to influence the American voters. Today the potential first spouse is expected to be involved in campaign issues, and her activities are as closely scrutinized as the candidate’s. However, these women haven’t always been an official part of the ritual contest. Tours of the Exhibit: Tuesday - Saturday at 9:30 & 10:30 a.m. and 12:30, 1:30 & 2:30 p.m.; plus Sundays at 12:30, 1:30 & 2:30 p.m. in June, July & August. Reservations required for groups of 6 or more only, recommended for all others.
