A classic, and a bestseller for 30 years, Presidential Elections,10th Edition, is thoroughly updated to reflect our current system of choosing a president. Published in time for the 2000 elections, Polsby and Wildavsky give an insiders view of the complexity and intensity of the selection process. In particular, the authors discuss the choices politicians make in light of the changing political environment — the professionalization of campaigns, political parties, primary elections, and national conventions — and recent voter behavior dynamics.
