"I know Nixons games but Carville brought it to "in your face"." I will grant you that. It took a long time to get where we are today. If you look at the broader trends, things were bad back in the 1800s. Towards the end of the Gilded Age, things peaked and started to change. During the early part of the 1900s through the 1920s, there was a lot of changes made and the partisanship had declined considerably. By FDR's time, partisanship was on the upswing, although it took well into the Cold War before it got much traction. The McCarthy era was when it got a strong toehold. And the trend from that point forward was generally down, with occasional blips here and there.
