Description
The 2010 campaign and election was the Republican takeover of the House, the advent of super PACs, and record-breaking sums spent on a midterm election. More than ever before, interest groups were able to mobilize new resources and new technologies in a shifting set of House and Senate races. This timely volume explores in a series of lively case studies a cross-section of groups, communities, and networks that vividly illustrates the unleashing of interest group activity in the electoral process in response to "Citizens United "and other court cases and events."
