Abstract
Endorsements are a simple language for communication between well informed interest-group leaders and lesser informed group members. The members, who share some policy concerns, may not fully understand where their interests lie on certain issues. If their leaders cannot fully explain the issues, they can convey some information by endorsing one political party or the other. Members must interpret the import of the endorsement in view of their feelings about the parties on other unrelated matters.
