The national electoral map has split into warring regional bastions
of Republican red and Democratic blue, producing a deep and
enduring partisan divide in American politics. In Red Fighting
Blue, David A. Hopkins places the current partisan and electoral
era in historical context, explains how the increased salience of
social issues since the 1980s has redefined the parties' geographic
bases of support, and reveals the critical role that American
political institutions play in intermediating between the behavior
of citizens and the outcome of public policy-making. The widening
geographic gap in voters' partisan preferences, as magnified
further by winner-take-all electoral rules, has rendered most of
the nation safe territory for either Democratic or Republican
candidates in both presidential and congressional elections - with
significant consequences for party competition, candidate strategy,
and the operation of government.
