thanks, what does party realignment mean? Does it mean when a party changes its principles to accomodate with the public? please don't give me those wiki links, thanks, but they are sort of not reliable. sorry to keep asking!

There are various articles here that may help you. And when you go into one of the Wikipedia links, be sure to go to the bottom of the page and examine the articles under External Links. It's one of the best ways to find additional material, whether you read the Wikipedia article or not.
