Against long odds : citizens who challenge congressional incumbents

Author:	James L Merriner; Thomas P Senter
Publisher:	Westport, Conn. : Praeger, ©1999.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"While many books detail how senators and representatives operate in Washington, this one describes how they stay in power. The congressional elections of 1998 were the most expensive in history. Incumbency reelection rates were 98.3 percent in the House and 89.7 percent in the Senate - a typical outcome even though Watergate-era campaign "reforms" were supposed to reduce the influence of money in politics. From the unique vantage of credible citizen-candidates who ran against congressional incumbents from Massachusetts to Hawaii during the 1990s, Against Long Odds tackles the question of why incumbents nearly always win."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
