In some years elections bring about enduring changes to the
American political scene. In 2006, a pivotal election year, the
Republicans suffered a resounding defeat, losing the House and
Senate for the first time since the 1994 "Republican Revolution."
But what caused this pivotal shift? The essays in Fault Lines
provide both a wealth of insight regarding what happened in the
2006 congressional elections and a framework to aid in
understanding the possible significance of the 2006 outcome for
subsequent developments in American politics.
Contributors to Fault Lines, who all draw on the data from the
2006 Congressional Elections Study, include many of the nation's
most prominent and accomplished observers of Congress and
congressional elections. This book promises to be an influential
contribution to our understanding of Congress, congressional
elections, the Bush administration, media and politics, political
communication, and partisan polarization.
