Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

  • Casey Trounces Host of Unknown Republicans in PA
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 7, 2011 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Casey trounces host of unknown Republicans in PA Raleigh, N.C. – With yesterday’s release showing Rick Santorum eight points down to President Obama in the former senator’s home state, Santorum may choose to abandon his exploration of a presidential bid in favor of a rematch of his 2006 loss to now Senator Bob Casey. If he does that, he would at least make it much closer than the rout Casey laid on him four years ago, but he would come little closer than he does against the president. If he chooses neither route, Casey would win re-election by 13 to 23 points against four other, far lesser-known GOP possibilities. Casey tops Santorum, 48-41. Santorum now posts the same level of support he did in the previous match-up of the two candidates, but he at least has 11% of voters on the fence about Casey this time. Casey leads former acting governor Mark Schweiker, 47-34; 6th- District Rep. Jim Gerlach, 49-33; 15th-District Rep. Charlie Dent, 51-31; and attorney Marc Scaringi, the only announced candidate so far, by a 50-27 margin. Casey leads Santorum, 49-29, with independents. That lead grows to 49-27 against Gerlach, 49-25 against Schweiker, 51-21 against Scaringi, and 55-17 against Dent. But where Casey really trounces the non-Santorum hopefuls is in party unity, where Casey only barely edges Santorum.
