Reviews
"""Theriault makes a strong argument that the primary source of ideological polarization in today's Senate stems from the 'Gingrich Senators,' the Republican senators who previously served in the US House, and were elected to the House after 1978, when Newt Gingrich was first elected... Party polarization in Congress is undoubtedly one of the most pressing policy-making challenges in the US, making this analysis particularly timely and relevant. Theriault's research offers both a compelling, readable explanation of polarization and a foundation for further research... Highly recommended."" --CHOICE ""In The Gingrich Senators, Sean M. Theriault makes the initially stunning, but ultimately convincing, case that polarization and partisanship in the Senate has its roots in the House."" --Congress & the Presidency ""The patterns that Theriault uncovers are intriguing....This is a must-read for congressional scholars, and it demonstrates a fascinating pattern of behavior that has important consequences for the character of the modern Senate."" --Political Science Quarterly"
