Each of these characteristics creates distinctive interests and issues that impact public policy in the West. Consistently, however, the West has been largely ignored by presidential candidates who remain uninterested in the few electoral votes to be won in the region. The 2008 presidential election demonstrated that such an attitude toward western states appears to be shifting, as are the dynamics of the presidential primary system as a whole. As western populations have increased, so too has the political clout of the region." "The Rise of the West in Presidential Elections explores the changing role of the region in national elections. The prominence of Nevada as an early caucus state, Denver's role as the host city of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, as well as increased candidate visitation and media expenditure, point to the rising importance of the region, an importance that political candidates will increasingly need to recognize. The book examines the political advantages and barriers to the creation of a regional primary for western states, a move that could further change the influence of the West on the national agenda and highlight western issues and values." "The contributors to The Rise of the West in Presidential Elections analyze the process of nominating presidential candidates, review the issues that make western states a united region unique in the political process, and explore the shifting national dynamics that enable these changes. The book helps explain the primary process, as well as the nuances of political maneuvering between states jockeying for position at the front of the election process."--BOOK JACKET. 001490258 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$xElection.$$0(DLC)sh 95008924 001490258 650_0 $$aElections$$zUnited States.$$zUnited States$$0(DLC)sh2007101203 001490258 650_0 $$aElections$$zWest (U.S.)$$zUnited States$$0(DLC)sh2007101203 001490258 651_0 $$aWest (U.S.)$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 001490258 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001490258 7001_ $$aRobinson, Jennifer L.$$q(Jennifer Lynn),$$d1976- 001490258 7001_ $$aPatton, W.
