摘要：Heading into the 2002 elections, Georgia was the only state that had not elected a Republican governor, and the state legislature continued to be held by Democrats. Organizationally, on the other hand, both parties had made dramatic strides since the 1970s, when they had a minimal presence at the local level. The decade of the 1990s brought diverging trends to the two parties. The county chairs we surveyed in 2001 tended to be more active in performing campaign activities than respondents from ten years before. Republican chairs overwhelmingly thought their organizations were getting stronger, though, while Democrats were more pessimistic about their parties. The parties became more ideologically extreme between 1991 and 2001. It remains to be seen whether the Republican trend in grassroots activity will translate into electoral success.
