Mason argues that Nixon's efforts to mobilize voters in support of conservative politics and initiate a Republican era of electoral hegemony were thoughtful but flawed." "As president, Nixon was uniquely placed to craft a response to liberal malaise at the end of the 1960s and exploit this potential opportunity for a realignment of American politics. His "silent majority" speech of 1969 not only undermined the growth of the antiwar movement, Mason shows, but also identified a constituency for Nixon to cultivate in order to secure reelection. However, the implementation of this new-majority project was hindered by the resort to dirty tricks against political opponents and the ineffectual pursuit of its policy agenda. Although some Nixon initiatives were enacted, says Mason, they were not substantial enough to rival the Democratic bread-and-butter issues. Mason contends that Nixon was an activist in intent but not in deed. While he built Republican strength at the presidential level, Mason argues, Nixon did not succeed in mobilizing popular support for political conservatism in general."--BOOK JACKET. | |

j n
recent
years historians have
j
paid substantial attention to the
¡origins of modern political conser¬
vatism and the record of the Nixon
administration in building a Repub¬
lican majority in the late twentieth
century. In Richard Nixon and the
Quest for a New Majority, Robert
Mason analyzes Nixon s response to
the developing conservative climate
and challenges revisionist claims
about the activist nature of the Nixon
administration. Mason argues that
Nixon s efforts to mobilize voters
in support of conservative politics
and initiate a Republican era of elec¬
toral hegemony were thoughtful but
flawed.
As president, Nixon was uniquely
placed to craft a response to liberal
malaise at the end of the
1960s
and
exploit this potential opportunity for a
realignment of American politics. His
silent majority speech of
1969
not
only undermined the growth of the
antiwar movement, Mason shows,
but also identified a constituency for
Nixon to cultivate in order to secure
reelection. However, the implemen¬
tation of this new-majority project
was hindered by the resort to dirty
tricks against political opponents and
the ineffectual pursuit of its policy
agenda. Although some Nixon initia¬
tives were enacted, says Mason,
they were not substantial enough to
rival
the Democratic bread-and-
butter issues. Mason contends that
Nixon was an activist in intent but
not in deed. While he built Republi¬
can strength at the presidential level,
Mason argues, Nixon did not suc¬
ceed in mobilizing popular support
for political conservatism in general.
