Please take a few minutes and read the following: The Shape of Political Parties






“Three-headed Giant”
  1. Party in the Electorate: The base of the party; the voters (self-identifying)
  2. Party as an Organization: National, state, and local staff and office (DNC & RNC); decentralized
  3. Party in Government: Elected officials (President, Congress members, etc) who are members of the party; helps organize; not always in agreement; spokespersons

3. Party Platform


4. Candidate recruitment
5. Campaign management (fundraising, polling, advertising, etc)
