This article examines the integration between formal party and campaign organizations in Ohio and Indiana during the 1988 and 1992 presidential election seasons. It finds a basic difference in the level of integration across those two states. It also finds variation in the partisan patterns across the two elections. In light of these findings, the article offers an explanation of party integration that considers the structure of the organizations, the nature of the candidacies and campaign personnel, and organizational learning.References
