	The 2002 U.S. Midterm Elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Given the traditionally low voter turnout in midterm elections, ambitious get-out-the-vote efforts are being deployed by the parties and their allied interest groups.
		Midterm elections traditionally produce a loss of seats in the House (and to a lesser extent in the Senate) for the President's party, although the size of the loss varies greatly.
		In the 1994 midterm elections, all of these factors combined to generate a political tsunami that swept Republicans into the majority in the House and Senate and led to major gains in state elections.

	IT IS TIME FOR TELEVISED DEBATES FOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS : LA IMC
		Presidential elections are media events that build from the summer political conventions to an October climax with the televised debates and then the candidates' final cross-country barnstorming continuing into November.
		Midterm congressional elections, however, generate only a fraction of the media coverage of the presidential campaigns since there are 468 races to cover instead of one and no debates or "whistle stop" tours to focus media attention.
		Consider, for example, the 1998 midterm elections which not only would define the national political agenda for the next two years and, given the Republicans’ frenzy over impeachment, also had the potential to decide who would be president.

	Foreign Policy Issues Drive Candidates in 2006 Midterm Elections - Dubai, UAE
		Washington -- Midterm elections in the United States attract attention when the stakes are high, as they are in 2006, and foreign policy issues are significant for both major political parties.
		The 2006 midterms are noteworthy not only because control of Congress might be tipped from one party to the other, but also because they are the first elections in many years in which the key issues driving campaigns involve U.S. foreign policy, including the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism.
		Lieber concurred with Sabato that the election is partly about Bush: “The Democrats have sought to make the election a referendum on the Bush presidency,” counting on his low approval ratings in the polls.

		Before the Civil War voter turnout in midterm elections in Texas and the South was comparable to turnout nationwide.
		From that point until the 1960s, participation in U.S. House elections in Texas largely followed the Southern pattern of decline driven by racial politics, active voter disenfranchisement, and a Democratic Party monopoly on power.
		Since 1920, this figure is approximately the same as voting-age population (21 years of age until 1971 and 18 years of age thereafter).
