Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-4522-0378-4 1-306-64013-X Includes bibliographical references and index.The 2010 US campaign and election was pivotal: the Republican takeover of the House, the advent of 'super PACs', and record-breaking sums spent on a midterm election. More than ever before, interest groups were able to mobilise new resources and new technologies in a shifting set of House and Senate races. This volume explores - in a series of lively case studies - a cross-section of groups, communities, and networks that vividly illustrates the 'unleashing' of interest group activity in the electoral process in response to Citizens United and other court cases and events.Pressure groupsUnited StatesHistory21st centuryElectionsUnited StatesHistory21st centuryElectronic books.Pressure groupsHistoryElectionsHistory322.4/30973Herrnson Paul S.1958-884569Deering Christopher J.1951-1031819Wilcox Clyde1953-851232StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910480891203321Interest groups unleashed2449329UNINA
