Nicholas Valentino: "One of the early discoveries of the founders of the ANES was that psychological attachments to parties themselves are group identities. Party identification is the core predisposition shaping political beliefs and behaviors. In other words, it may be that votes are driven most strongly by those partisan identities rather than a citizen’s individual preferences on a bundle of policies. That discovery can have a very scary set of implications."
