Question

Explain how campaign organizations and strategies affect the election process.

Answer 1

Answer:

Party elites chose the candidates,

funded their campaigns and orchestrated election strategies. For most of our early political history

the candidates themselves were not even seen on the campaign trail. But as new technologies

emerged in the early twentieth century, like radio and film, so too new election techniques were

developed. Candidate centered campaigns began to replace party control over elections. Weakened

parties had its problems. Candidates still needed help running their marketing campaigns.

Professional campaign consultants filled this vacuum.
