 RCR - REPORT OF JAMES C. MILLER, III
Another contrived advantage is the ability of incumbents to pressure donors for campaign contributions when there is little evidence of challenge, and to carry over these resources from election to election, continually growing their reserves in order to ward off any potential challenge.
In sum, an incumbent knows that additional spending on his or her own campaign will be of marginal value in increasing votes (or vote margin), but that spending by an opponent will have a dramatic, threatening effect.
Incumbents have a considerable advantage here: they have taxpayer-paid press spokesmen; they make news, and thus have more access to the media; and they have access to "inside information," which they communicate to, and curry favor with, the press.

In 1984 and 1988, Conservative candidates were closest to the limit, and it was their turn to declare the greater share of personal expenses.
Incumbents may be reelected more often than challengers simply because they are better at their jobs and voters are happy with things as they are.
Incumbents will like limits even if they can raise twice as much but challenger spending is only twice as potent; vote margins will not be affected but incumbents will spend less.

Incumbents always are uneasy in off-year elections, in which candidates of the incumbent president's party often take a beating.
Among incumbents in those contested seats are five Democrats and three Republicans who are not running for re-election.
However, even a Republican sweep would be unlikely to persuade the Clinton administration to change its Middle East course, which is guided by the wishes of the incumbent (any incumbent) government in Israel, its Washington, DC lobby, and perceptions of the general consensus among American Jewish supporters of Israel.

It happened at the federal level in 1993 when the Conservatives were obliterated, and in 1984 when voters humbled the Liberals.
When governments are tossed out of office, issues are often secondary to the public's lust to punish incumbents.

 New Perspectives and Evidence on Political Communication and Campaign Effects
This is the repeated cross section in which interviews are carried out sufficiently frequently (on a daily basis) to yield reliable weekly or biweekly national samples that span the entire life of the campaign.
Franklin's study of U.S. Senate campaigns found that voters were more precise in their perceptions of their incumbent senator's position on a liberal-conservative scale when exposed to a senatorial campaign featuring the incumbent (Franklin, 1993).
In short, when studying campaigns of differential loudness, the interactions that define campaign effects become more complex; voters' preferences become a function of the volume/intensity of the contestants' appeals, voters' partisan preferences, and their level of exposure to the campaign.

While there is a long standard tradition of considering John A. Macdonald Canada's first Prime Minister, since he was prime minister after Canadian Confederation, a number of modern scholars, foremost amongst them John Ralston Saul, argue that Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine are truly Canada's first Prime Ministers.
They were the first to govern the Province of Canada (consisting then of only Canada East and Canada West — modern Ontario and Quebec) as democratically elected leaders.
