✦ Synopsis

regards as ''ideological'' (Republicans, and those from the Sunbelt, are ideologically more pro-deregulation and pro-unfettered enterprise than Democrats; Rom, therefore, regards region, once direct constituency impacts are controlled for, as an ideological rather than an interest factor). He finds that both the ''interest'' and the ideology'' factors are statistically and substantively significant, but that ideology counts for more than interest in explaining votes.

The empirical record in support of journalistic cynicism about the American political system, and its academic public choice counterparts, is generally rather weak. Yet the level of cynicism of the public, and of many of our students, remains high. Therefore, we need more works such as Mark Carl Rom's.
