This is an interesting point. Joel Rogers explains the marketing-inspired
nature of the New Party's platform and organizational stragegy ("pick a few
simple points, four or five, stay on message, etc.") as a response to the
fact that people today work too much and don't have the time for
"traditional" politics. But I'd guess that it'd be hard to find too many
people working 60-72 hour weeks in 1997.
