Newswise — Vincent Hutchings, professor of political science, is an expert on public opinion, elections and voting behavior. He says the conventions now seek to galvanize the party base. "It's not like it was several decades ago where the conventions helped to decide who the nominees would be—so it's not going to be as influential as it could be," he said. "But it will still be important because now conventions mostly serve the role to help generate support and enthusiasm for the nominee." Contact: 734-764-6591, [email protected]
