Abstract

The study of political campaigns has an awkward place in political science. At one level, we have grown to accept that "campaigns matter." A growing literature now provides many different tests of this proposition. At another level, a cliche? sometimes mouthed by campaign professionals and journal- ists is that 90% of what campaigns do does not matter-it is the remaining 10% that is critical. The relative accuracy of these proportions aside, this cliche? raises an important question: What is the critical part of modern campaigns that "matters"?
