National party organizations are weak in certain ways but PIE partisanship is strong.
Hershey (p. 370): "Why should partisanship help citizens who have so many other sources of information about candidates and issues? Perhaps it is because they are exposed to so much information."
In all bodies, those who will lead, must also, in a considerable degree, follow. They must conform their propositions to the taste, talent, and disposition, of those whom they wish to conduct: therefore, if an assembly is viciously or feebly composed in a very great part of it, nothing but such a supreme degree of virtue as very rarely appears in the world, and for that reason cannot enter into calculation, will prevent the men of talent disseminated through it from becoming only the expert instruments of absurd projects!
