Hi everyone!

Hi there, I'm Dan, I'll be your blogger for this little forey into party politics in America.
I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, studying political science with a legal studies concentration. I am currently a senior in my last semester here.

When you think about party politics, often you don't think of anything good, so I'm very interested in the subject of the nuts and bolts of party politics, the reason they exist even though the majority of Americans deride them. In many ways these nuts and bolts define American politics, in fact, I'd dare say they define world politics, so I'm curious to see just why they have become so intrinsic to the American Republic.
