Pages : 352
Book Description
There are two schools of thought about how a party should pick its presidential candidate: The Harry Truman school, which believes primaries are not a deciding facter, rather the party's most mature, experienced, and respected learders should pick the best qualified candidate in a private setting; The John F. Kennedy school, which believes the nomination should go to the popular choice that is established at the primaries. The author believes that the latter is most in tune with the political reality in the United States and attempts to explain why.
Primary Elections in the United States
Author: Shigeo HiranoPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108666248
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
The direct primary stands as one of the most significant and distinctive political reforms of the Progressive era in American history. In this book, the authors provide the most comprehensive treatment available on the topic and utilize new data on election outcomes, candidate backgrounds, incumbent performance and behavior, newspaper endorsements, and voters' preferences. They begin by studying whether primary elections have achieved the goals set by progressive reformers when they were first introduced over a century ago. They then evaluate the key roles these elections have played in the US electoral systems, such as injecting electoral competition into the regions that are dominated by one of the two major parties, helping select relatively qualified candidates for office, and, in some cases, holding incumbents accountable for their performance. They conclude with studying the degree to which primaries are responsible for the current, highly polarized environment. Anyone interested in US primary elections, US political history, or electoral institutions more generally should read this book.
