If we wish to take the discussion beyond the "well, I just think so" level, I'm all ears if you have an idea for how to measure it, other than your original reference to sacrificing pork in pursuit of these loftier goals.
The grasses are still flattened from this well-trod trail, but as one example, Thurmond switched from Dem to Rep, so maybe it was his Republican Plan for America that convinced people to start voting for him (whoops! continue voting for him.) Or, maybe it was his legendary attention to his consituents, and his skill at obtaining pork.

And wasn't it Phil Gramm who once bragged that he brought home so much pork that he was in danger of getting trichinosis?
