This volume provides an in-depth examination of six political
campaigns waged during competitive 1998 races for the U.S. House of
Representatives. The case studies evaluate the professional
political consultants who managed each campaign, their interaction
with the candidates, and the impact of the campaigns on voters.
Relying on unparalleled access to both the consultants involved and
the candidates themselves, the contributors explore the electoral
setting and context of the congressional districts, the strategy,
theme, and message of each campaign, the consultants'
decisionmaking, fund-raising, and spending, and any outside forces
that entered into the races. The book features new data on
tracking, polls, and television advertising budgets.

Presidential-Congressional Relations brings together the knowledge

span of eras, with particular attention to developments from the

This book offers the first scholarly assessment of President Obama
and his first two years in office. Hundreds of journalistic
articles and several books have appeared, but this is the first
based on the original scholarship of well-established political
scientists, practitioners, and journalists who have studied
American political institutions and domestic and international
public policy. All come together here to offer a fresh perspective
on President Obama and his relationship with Congress, interest
groups, and a wide variety of policy making communities. Because so
much has happened to test the administration during this period,
this book is not only timely but rich with new insights into the
continuing great recession and its jobless recovery, TARP spending,
efforts to save the automobile industry, stimulus legislation,
historic health care reform along with reform in other key areas
including financial regulation, education, taxation, immigration
policy, climate change legislation, a historic deficit, the BP oil
leak in the Gulf, and the continuation of two wars. Extreme
partisanship, deadlock, and anticipation of Republican midterm
electoral success have made policy making difficult despite a
Democratic majority in Congress. Looking beyond the midterms, these
authors consider the results of 2010, the impact of the Tea Party,
and the prospects for 2012. Obama entered office in the midst of
the perfect storm; will he exit at the hands of a populist tsunami
or return for four more years as the teapot tempest subsides? Check

It was the best of elections; it was the worst of elections. The
2004 presidential contest mobilized a record number of voters, with
121 million Americans showing up at the polls. But in many eyes,
the 2004 race also plumbed new depths. It was the most expensive
presidential election in history, with a price tag of $2.2 billion.
It was also marked by unprecedented negativity -for example, both
George W. Bush and John Kerry came under fire for their activities
during the Vietnam War, which ended three decades ago. In Vital
Signs, David Dulio and Candice Nelson analyze the Bush and Kerry
campaigns and use them as the springboard for a broader exploration
of the current U.S. campaign system and its strengths and
weaknesses. The book addresses four key issues: Who's in charge of
modern campaigns? How effective are the key players? What role does
money play? And are campaigns being conducted in an ethical manner?
In answering these questions, Dulio and Nelson draw on a wide range
of sources, including focus groups, interviews with campaign
professionals, and a unique dataset based on multiple surveys of
political consultants, party operatives, and the public. The
culmination of the seven-year "Improving Campaign Conduct" project,
Vital Signs should become an integral part of the debate about
American campaigns and elections.
Campaign politics has become increasingly professionalized in
recent years. The growing prevalence and influence of paid
consultants in the United States and other democracies is one of
the most important factors changing the nature of electoral
politics. Campaign Warriors thoroughly examines this critical --and
controversial --development and its impact on the political system
in the U.S. and other countries.
The contributors approach the topic from several different
perspectives, including the increasing use of "spin doctors" and
the resulting loss of influence of state and national political
parties. The book investigates the role of these paid advisers: who
they are, what they do and why, and how they feel about their work.
The contributors discuss the consultant's relationship with
candidates and parties, and analyze the effect of their efforts on
election outcome.
American Gridlock brings together the country's preeminent experts
on the causes, characteristics, and consequences of partisan
polarization in US politics and government, with each chapter
presenting original scholarship and novel data. This book is the
first to combine research on all facets of polarization, among the
public (both voters and activists), in our federal institutions
(Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court), at the state
level, and in the media. Each chapter includes a bullet-point
summary of its main argument and conclusions, and is written in
clear prose that highlights the substantive implications of
polarization for representation and policy-making. Authors examine
polarization with an array of current and historical data,
including public opinion surveys, electoral and legislative and
congressional data, experimental data, and content analyses of
media outlets. American Gridlock's theoretical and empirical depth
distinguishes it from any other volume on polarization.
