CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground
CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground “There’s only one way to hold a district: you must study human nature and act accordin’. You can’t study human nature in books. Books is a hindrance more than anything else. If you have been to college, so much the worse for you. You’ll have to unlearn all you learned before you can get right down to human nature, and unlearnin’ takes a lot of time. Some men can never forget what they learned at college...To learn real human nature you have to go among the people, see them and be seen.” – George W. Plunkitt1 3.1 Parties on the Ground If one accepts this more di↵use definition of political parties, we should forgive an initial sense of pessimism or despondency toward our ability to study their behavior in a systematic fashion. The diversity of potential actors – from party organizations, to activist networks; from interest groups, to old-fashioned machines – multiplies both the potential environments and potential resources available for electoral intervention. And worse yet, the actions of these extended party networks are often purposefully kept from the public eye. The choice to recruit candidates for office, pressure others out of a contest, or expend resources in support of particular campaigns are at best highly sensitive decisions and at worst skirt the borders of legality.2 Moreover, the individual state primary and nomination contests are scattered over 1Riordan, William. 1905. Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. The Project Gutenberg. 2For example, the same union officials central to the coming example in Pennsylvania’s 13th district are currently under a FBI investigation covering “virtually every aspect of the union’s operations, as well as [the union leader’s] personal finances” (Phillips and Fazlollah 2017). -
