Abstract
⺠Candidates of different quality compete in primaries and general elections. ⺠Democrats choose liberal policies and Republicans choose conservative policies. ⺠High quality candidates choose more moderate policies than low quality candidates. ⺠Candidates in a primary diverge more when there is a larger quality difference. ⺠Low quality candidates strategically enter primary even with no chance of winning.
