Incivility and Standing Firm
Political observers have detected a noticeable uptick in American political incivility in recent years, culminating with several moderate senators recently citing the rise of hard-core partisanship as the reason for their retirement. Supporting these accusations of unprecedented incivility with empirical evidence can be difficult, as notions of what constitutes appropriate, civil behavior are subjective and can vary across the political context o…
The Rise and Fall of Nasty Politics in America
It is fair to say that a great swath of forest was sacrificed for the study of negative campaigning. As we might hope and expect, a great deal has been learned since our initial assumptions that negative ads would be the downfall of our republic. (For an excellent review of this literature, see Geer 2006). This PS symposium and a spate of recent work (for example, see Herbst 2010; Shea and Fiorina 2012; Sobieraj and Berry 2011), suggest growing i…
Forget the Good of the Game
The growing literature on American party polarization has focused on growing differences in partisan vote outcomes, political values, and policy position. We argue that a second layer of party polarization has developed that goes far beyond simply issue and ideological differences. A growing unwillingness to want politicians to compromise with the other side and a determination to blame growing political incivility solely on the other party chara…
The Road Less Taken
This article summarizes the seemingly paradoxical positions that party organizations have been revitalized while citizen attraction to party has declined. It also argues that recent elections have triggered a dramatic change in the electoral system, affording party organizations a unique opportunity to draw citizens into the party rubric in meaningful ways for decades to come. Party organizational resurgence can be aptly dubbed one of the great c…
Gender and Local Party Leadership in America
A growing body of literature suggests important gender differences in the leadership of political institutions. It seems clear, for instance, that female legislators, especially legislative leaders, approach their jobs differently than do their male colleagues–and that these differences have an impact on the policy process. The exploration of gender differences in party organizations, however, is underdeveloped. This study, based on a telephone s…
Why Bother? Because Peer-to-Peer Programs Can Mobilize Young Voters
Many assume that young Americans are apathetic, self-absorbed, and indifferent to civic matters. It is a turned-off generation, we are told. But nothing could be further from the truth. A host of data suggests young Americans give their energy, time, and money to their schools, community, and nation. A recent report by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), for example, suggests young Americans voluntee…
Local Political Context and Negative Campaigns
Research into the intended and unintended consequences of negative campaigns has spawned a variety of approaches and a variety of contradictory findings. This paper suggests that some of the contradictions are likely due to methodological issues. First, we examine the use of elite assessment as an improved means of operationalizing the tone of political campaigns. Second, several hypotheses about the mediating effects of local electoral culture a…

All Scandal Politics is Local
To understand contemporary elections, scholars must come to grips with the effects of scandal. Susan Welch and John Hibbing have suggested that charges of corruption can be damaging to House incumbents and that the effects have remained constant over the last twenty years (1997). Yet a number of discrepancies remain. Why are roughly 75 percent of incumbents who are caught in a scandal returned to office—especially in today's political environment…
