Despite partisan support, political parties are relatively weak in the United States. They still recruit candidates, raise money, and develop policy positions, but they do not control these activities as they once did. Candidates can bypass their party and win nomination through primaries and caucuses. Even in this era of politician-centered elections, the party's support may be important. Mike McCurry quotes Democratic strategist Paul Tulley: "The party is the glue that holds various constituencies together."
