SGER: A Study of Preprimary Gubernatorial Endorsements by State Political Parties

9412994朱厄尔该奖项由探索性研究小额助学金机制提供支持。该项目调查了7个州的政党将于1994年举行的州长初选前认可大会，这一年大多数州长都是选举产生的。这些州是独一无二的，因为政党领导人试图影响提名过程的结果。对州政党的研究很少强调提名过程，而且往往局限于单个州的案例研究。这项研究项目复制了1982年进行的一项跨州研究，将允许进行跨州和跨时间的比较分析。这项研究将确定核可进程、被核可人的选举成功以及出席大会的代表对核可制度的评价是否发生了变化。***

9412994 Jewell This award is supported through the Small Grants for Exploratory Research Mechanism. This project investigates preprimary gubernatorial endorsing conventions to be held by political parties in seven states in 1994, a year when most governors are elected. These states are unique because party leaders are trying to influence the outcome of the nominating process. The study of state political parties has seldom emphasized the nominating process, and often it has been limited to single-state case studies. This research project, by replicating a cross- state study conducted in 1982, will permit comparative analysis both across states and across time. The study will determine whether there have been changes in the endorsement process, in the electoral success of endorsees, and in the evaluations of the endorsement system by delegates attending the conventions. ***
