Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The 2008 Democratic presidential primary race presented the American public with an unprecedented situation in which the two major candidates were also demographic “outsiders” to the national executive. An analysis of pertinent presidency and representation literature suggests a possible paradox for these candidates as a function of their group identities. Because each was positioned to be the first descriptive representative for either African-Americans or women in the White House, both occupied an inherently contradictory space as a highly-visible representative for the interests of their under-represented groups and, simultaneously, as a serious contender for the entire electorate’s national representative. This paper utilizes the mass media as a location for examining the national discourse on this new question of descriptive representation and the presidency during the 2008 presidential primaries. A content analysis of 5 major media outlets suggests that frames emphasizing the candidates’ ties to their respective social groups often question their legitimacy as the national representative, while those that emphasize their broad appeal question their commitment to historically oppressed groups.
