About this book

Blending insightful scholarship with a "nuts and bolts" approach, Campaigns and Elections examines the electoral process at the local, state, and national levels. 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.
