"Party System" emphasis seems odd

Why does this article focus so heavily on a construction centering on the "Third Party System", "Fourth Party System", etc.? I studied American History in college (magna cum laude) and graduate school (through C.Phil status), and I never encountered this construction. I'm not saying it's wrong, of course -- just not a familiar way of describing the GOP. No? -- Gregory J. Kohs 20:05, 27 February 2008 (CST)

it's a blend of traditional history and political science (where the party system model is used a lot). Richard Jensen 09:29, 28 February 2008 (CST)
