The results of the 1988 elections affirmed the strength of the
Republican party in the South on both the Presidential and
statewide levels. This decisive victory and its ramifications
throughout the region are the focus of this volume which seeks to
illuminate the important events relevant to the 1988 elections in
the South and identify the resulting trends in political activity
which will characterize future developments. Special attention is
given to the presidential election, the elements which determined
its outcome and its effect upon the national strength of both
parties, but the significance of lower level contests are also
considered.
The text is arranged to provide both a Southwide analysis and a
state-by-state review. Regional studies outline the political
history relevant to the 1988 elections, and follow the concurrent
nomination races. Each state chapter furnishes information which
highlights the unique political complexion of the state being
discussed and also shows how its character fits into the overall
picture of a constantly changing Southern political profile. By
presenting both an overview of the South as a political entity and
a close-up study of the variety of its constituents, this volume
proves a valuable addition to the literature which projects the
future of Southern politics.
