A theory of coalition formation has applied to presidential nominating conventions since 1900. The unit at these conventions is designated as any group of delegates who follow the same coalition strategy for the duration of the convention. A coalition is formed between any two units when a majority of the delegates of one unit switch to another candidate and remain with him for a specified period. To operationalize the various parameters of the theory, a "presidential potential score" and an "ideology score" were developed by means of a content analysis. The theory was able to predict with modest but statistically clear success for the set of eight conventions studied
