Description

Every four years Americans are inundated with campaign activities from candidates attempting to become the next president of the United States. An under-researched area of these campaign activities are campaign visits-rallies, town hall meetings, and candidate meet-and-greets for example. Almost all candidates conduct visits, yet we do not have a good understanding of how they affect voters. Wendland tackles four big questions throughout Campaigns That Matter: 1) Do campaigns matter? 2) Are campaign visits strategic? 3) Do visits help mobilize voters? 4) Do visits impact candidate preference? Using a unique set of data that includes all visits conducted throughout the 2008, 2012, and 2016 presidential nominating contests, Wendland explores how these visits affected voters compared to traditional measures of advertisements, campaign spending, and momentum. In doing so, Wendland has provided us with a more comprehensive picture of how voters make decisions in the voting booth.

Reviews
In 1964, Nelson Rockefeller won the Oregon Republican Presidential Primary after advertising '(h)e Cared Enough to Come to Corvallis.' For the next half-century though, most political scientists questioned whether candidate visits actually translated into votes. Jay Wendland's new book finally settles this question through a thorough analysis of the 2008, 2012, and 2016 presidential primaries. This work is a must-read for all scholars and journalists who are interested in how and why presidential campaign events matter. -- Andrew Dowdle, University of Arkansas
In the early days of the United States candidates for public office climbed on the stump in the local town square and spoke to their fellow citizens, but not presidential candidates. That was considered to be beneath the dignity of the office. Then, in 1896 William Jennings Bryan traveled thousands of miles to more than 25 states to give more than 600 speeches, and presidential campaigns have never been the same. Wendland explores the impact of the campaign visit in terms of recent presidential nomination contests on voter mobilization and candidate preference, and finds they make a meaningful difference in presidential campaigns. -- Randall E. Adkins, University of Nebraska at Omaha

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
