The authors—leading scholars, political professionals, and election administrators—focus on such current issues as the use of pollsters and political consultants, campaign finance reform, partisan politics, and the changing nature of both candidates and voters. Abundant case studies—including the contested election of George W. Bush—illustrate the text, while the editors' section introductions provide essential context. The resulting book is a perfect choice for any course dealing with political parties and elections.
"An excellent combination of perceptive scholarship and case studies written by scholars and practitioners, which places political campaigning in a realistic perspective."—James W. Witt, Perspectives on Politics
