@JayCostTWS i think the last clause is where i disagree. i just don't buy that the senate was decisive in whether the parties or federal government reacted to these challenges. weaver got 8% of the vote in '92! the populists/silver parties won 3.4% of house seats v. 4.4% of the senate in '92 — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS there's no doubt that the south's sense of 'demographic doom' contributed to its fears. but radicalization was a two way street. it's the 1860 election, not the new census figures or new states, that leads to secession — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS i do think the core of your point is a reasonable one--that in a federal system, there's a distinct and unusual secessionist risk if states can't satisfactorily influence policy in washington — PolitiTweet.org
