i said earlier some thought burton was a schemer. this is a game burton is playing. we got burton people to vote for wright to kick out bowling -- bolling. burton denied it. there is no evidence that was a coordinated effort but john jacob found a number of democrats who confirmed they did. could not be trusted. the second is burton had a stronger campaign team. he had not kept track he had it all in his head. wright had a lot of allies. they stand out on the house floor like june bugs going to these boling people saying vote for wright. they could rally these people much faster than burton. in the end, the final round of balloting resulted with wright by one vote -- so a southern conservative ends up as majority leader in the house of representatives. this has significant consequences because when o'neill retires, wright becomes speaker of the house. he is polarizing. democrats unify against him and newt gingrich starts talking about ethical problems wright has. he ultimately resigned and as a result ingrid -- gingrich's profile increases and helps them become speak

he is not burton. but because it is a one vote margin, anything could have made if burton had not been mean to one member, or there are countless stories of someone about to vote for wright or saidn and wright's team don't do that. you never know what could have affected the outcomes. but if you look at these tallies and test the factors we argue matter, you find ideology, you find other things matter. it is not just personality. second, you find ideology matters as we would expect. find state delegation matters. committee assignment matters. seniority matters. and then urban democrats were getting help from public works. that proved to be very useful to wright as well. it is another example of how these are more complex and interesting that conventional wisdom would tell us. in the time i have left, i will talk about a third race quickly because it illustrates the very bull you don't see in earlier races because it is hard to measure. but you do see now in contemporary races. the first race you can fi
