Publication Type: Invited Paper Abstract: The crowded primary field of 2008 presidential candidates for both the Democratic and Republican parties included a number of candidates whose presence sparked discussion of race, gender and religion. Of course, the historic nature of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s candidacies interjected frequent discussion of race and gender for the Democrats. Among the Republican field, candidates Mike Huckabee, an ordained southern Baptist minister, and Mitt Romney, the first Mormon to seek the presidency, found themselves frequently addressing questions related to their religion and how their religious beliefs might affect their governing decisions. This study will analyze how these candidates – and their opponents – addressed the issues of race, gender and religion while debating one another. Indeed, the primary debates served as important campaign communication events throughout the long primary season (with the Democrats participating in 19 nationally televised primary debates, and the Republicans participating in 15 such exchanges). A content analysis of these debate texts will examine how journalist and citizen questioners framed the issues of race, gender and religion, and the strategies candidates used to discuss these issues.
