The Party Decides
Presidential Nominations Before and After Reform
Book • 2008
The Party Decides explores the evolution of presidential nominations from the 1790s, arguing that party insiders have consistently played a crucial role in selecting candidates.
The book challenges the common view that reforms in the 1970s gave voters more power, instead highlighting the importance of endorsements and support from interest groups and state party leaders in shaping nominations.
