democratic nominating, nominations have become somewhat less competitive overtime.t democratic is but a couple things. one, the democratic party is a little more unified. it also could mean that prospective candidates are a little more strategic about calculating their chances and not running, which is also a possibility. republican nominations in contrast, basically were competitive in the 1970s. reagan comes along. you get a great deal of unity within the republican party, and that may be fragmenting in the last -- in the post-george w. bush era. and we can see those two patterns. this is the same slide as earlier. what i argued in this paper, and in a forthcoming book, is that these two different patterns and the variation that we see emerges from two basic factors. one is variation and coalition unity. the democratic party and to a lesser extent the republican party, they were less unified in the 1970s. this reflects the growing polarization. internally they become more unified, and that's that happened we are seeing less competition, less intraparty fighting ov
