Inhaltsangabe

This study proposes an alternative explanation of the relationship changes between presidential and House of Representatives election results. Stonecash argues that the separation of presidential and House election results occurring from the 1960s to 1980 was a party-driven process, with both parties seeking to change their electoral base.

Críticas:

'A valuable historical perspective ... Stonecash demonstrates that the decline and re-emergence of the connection between presidential and U.S. House elections over the past sixty years was a product of shifts in the ideological underpinnings of the American party system - driven by party leaders. A must-read for anyone wanting to understand our current polarized party system.' Alan Abramowitz, Emory University

'Stonecash has unified previously divergent findings by taking a simple but often untried tack. His book looks at elections from the point of view of the parties that shape campaigns, instead of merely from the point of view of voters who respond to them.' Hans Noel, Georgetown University

'Stonecash challenges the notion that the connection between presidential and congressional elections has been irrevocably frayed by the advent of candidate-centered politics ... This is a well-researched book that creates a new interpretation of events ... Highly recommended. General readers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and research faculty.' A. D. McNitt, Choice
