A Comparative Study of Presidential Nomination Conventions

This is intended to be a longitudinal study of politics at the 1968 and 1972 National Democratic Conventions. Although the casts of delegates, candidates, and issues were different at the two conventions, more generic political variables were available for observation and analysis at both conventions. Selected for comparison were (1) the socioeconomic representativeness of delegates, (2) the ideological positions of delegates, and (3) the stylistic preferences (amateur-professional) of delegates. Data used are based upon sample surveys at the two conventions. Results indicate noticeable changes in delegate characteristics which were accompanied by predictable shifts in ideological and stylistic commitments of delegates
