Review
"This book is one of the best on the market for synthesizing the known research and organizing it in a workable fashion. Bibby’s career-long familiarity with the subject shows at every turn. All general ’Parties’ courses need a book of this nature to get the ball rolling and provide the important summaries and tables that students need."
"The strengths of this text are exactly the criteria I use to select a text in the first place: Being well organized and lucidly written it conveys reasonably difficult subject matter efficiently, yet without being too simplistic." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This book is a concise, informative, and interesting read. I had to buy this book for my Political Parties, Voters, and Elections class and it was a good resource. I would recommend for anyone studying political parties, voters, and elections in the US.
