An independent and powerful institution During the 1970s party polarization was very much the exception to the rule. Some scholars insist that the ?disappearing center? in Congress reflects partisan and ideological divisions among average Americans, while other scholars seem equally sure that we are instead witnessing a ?disconnect? between a still nonideological and politically centrist mass public and its representatives on Capitol Hill.

A party caucus is a group of members in a party from a community that discuss whom they feel they their candidate should be in the upcoming election. The district results are reported to the county, and the county results are then reported to the states, which are then reported to the country, and used to determine each party?s final candidate.
