The Tea Party Movement and the 2012 House Election

A multivariate analysis of mayors serving between 1…

The two policy areas have separated from the government management dimension constructed by Clausen and are now distinct and autonomous Congressional policy areas. The models of roll call voting for energy and environment issues are very different. Energy is tied more closely to technical consi…

Competition for nominations is studied as both a measure of organizational effectiveness and as an indicator of intraparty democracy. Although a laundry list of independent variables has been proposed as explanation of competition for nominations, little attempt has been made to analyze either the relative or combined impact of these variab…
