Abstract

As we note in our paper, the complex dynamics of voters’ partisan and candidate choices involve a large number of sometimes interrelated causal forces that come together in peculiar ways to produce sometimes unexpected results. However, like Key (1949) and many other scholars, we conclude that race is an extraordinarily important determinant of political behavior in the American South. We are pleased that Professor Bullock shares our overall assessments of the sources of the southern partisan realignment, and note that his criticisms are framed in somewhat simplistic constructions of certain theories and arguments. We are happy for this opportunity to elaborate on our comments.
