Sabato's Crystal Ball - Senate 2006: From Venerable to Vulnerable Maria Cantwell (D-WA) is also vulnerable, not least because of GOP anger over a "stolen" Governor's election in 2004; however, Washington leans Democratic and the Republicans have not yet lined up an impressive candidate to carry the banner against Cantwell. This week, we've brought you the 14 seats out of the 33 up for election that appear to be moderately to very vulnerable. In last week's Crystal Ball email (http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/article.php?id=LJS2005032401), we examined seniority and the 109th Senate, as well as the seats that are currently open and those that might open between now and 2006. www.centerforpolitics.org /crystalball/article.php?id=LJS2005033101   (617 words)

NPR : Black Leadership and the 2002 Midterm Elections As part of a two-day special on the elections, Smiley talks to leading Democrats and Republicans about that concern, as well as about the key races and issues facing African Americans. Some political analysts worry that voting problems in the 2000 presidential election -- which left minority voters in Florida and other states feeling angry and disenfranchised -- will discourage African-American voters from heading to the polls this year. Leading Republicans discuss the next day's election on the show, which will also include a commentary by President George W. Bush. www.npr.org /programs/tavis/features/2002/nov/elections   (827 words)

Inquiring Minds: Wendy Schiller on midterm elections (GSJ of Nov. 1, 2002) This year the midterm elections seem unusually locally focused – inasmuch as the parties have tried to bring national issues to the local level, voters seem to be resistant to judging their local representatives based on these larger national issues. It is a bit reminiscent of the 1990 elections, when the war on Iraq was looming and the economy was beginning to sag – neither issue was dominant in the 1990 election, but became major issues two years later. The 1994 elections that swept the Republicans into power were atypical in the number of seats that the president’s party lost. www.brown.edu /Administration/George_Street_Journal/vol27/27GSJ10c.html   (795 words)

"Who Cares About Midterm Elections?" by Barbara J. Stock Midterm elections are over a year away and while there is some talk about one party gaining or losing seats in the House or Senate, the serious speculators are gearing up for the presidential duel in 2008. While the midterm elections will be interesting to watch, the real games will begin in January, 2006, and it will be great fun to watch the great all-American free-for-all. The next presidential election will be different from those in recent memory because there will be no incumbent and there is no heir apparent in the form of a vice-president. www.chronwatch.com /site.asp?id=17189   (1288 words)

Robert Stein on the Economy & Midterm Elections on NRO Financial The U.S. has had recessions and rising unemployment in four of the last five midterm election years in which a Republican was in the White House: 1970, 1974, 1982, and 1990. Although the economy was not in a recession in 1986 it was the weakest election year during the 1980s expansion. Their midterm years — 1962, 1966, 1978, 1994, and 1998 — all had strong economic growth and declining unemployment. www.nationalreview.com /nrof_comment/comment-stein060402.asp   (789 words)

On the 2002 Midterm Elections... These are the same firms connected to the election debacle of 2000. Widespread anecdotal accounts of voting irregularities, disenfranchised voters and absolutely accurate and, in many cases, understated criticisms of abysmal leadership from Tom Daschle and the Democratic Party are not difficult to find. I note with irony the fact that much of the new software to resolve voting issues is either created by Microsoft and/or the companies that own and sell the voting machines, including one with investments from the Rothschild family. www.fromthewilderness.com /free/ww3/110602_elections.html   (732 words)

Political Forecasting After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House than it did after the previous midterm elections. Rather, presidential elections are primarily referenda on how well the party holding the White House has governed during its term. Using the Keys to the White House, a prediction system based on the analysis of every American presidential election since 1860, I first predicted the reelection of President George W. Bush a year ago (24 April 2003) in the column I regularly write for the Montgomery Gazette newspaper. morris.wharton.upenn.edu /forecast/Political/commentary-lichtman.html   (1286 words)

U.S. presidential election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In fact, in the likely case that the 2008 election is an open race, it would be the first time since the 1952 election and only the second time since the 1928 election in which neither a Vice President nor a sitting President will be either party's nominee. The election of the United States President is governed by Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution, as amended by Amendments XII, XXII, and XXIII. Elections take place every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (although in many states early and absentee voting begins several weeks before Election Day). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._presidential_election   (815 words)

The 2002 U.S. Midterm Elections 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. 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. www.brook.edu /views/op-ed/mann/20021104.htm   (1353 words)

TCS: Tech Central Station - Surge and Decline His conclusion is that midterm elections are based largely on the size of the president's win two years before. His partisan opponents questioned the election's legitimacy -- yet in the midterm elections, where the White House's party is typically punished harshly, the president lost just four seats in the House. Political scientist James E. Campbell has compiled a series of studies of midterm elections, and is perhaps the preeminent scholar on the subject. www.techcentralstation.com /110804D.html   (1864 words)

ABC News: Poll: Issues Favor Dems in 2006 Elections 6, 2005 &; A year out from the 2006 midterm elections, the Democrats hold an extraordinary lead in voter preferences — but far less of an advantage in the practical elements it can take to turn an out-party's hopes into votes: leadership, anti-incumbency and a unified theme. And if the election were today, registered voters would favor the Democrat in their congressional district by 52 percent to 37 percent. The template is the Republicans' realigning election of 1994, when they gained 52 House seats and the control they still enjoy today. abcnews.go.com /Politics/PollVault/story?id=1283170   (894 words)

Media fairness questioned in wake of midterm elections =TheHill.com= Coverage of the midterm elections has spawned a fresh round of charges about media fairness, with liberals and conservatives trading charges that the coverage lacked balance. Hess said, “It was perfectly fair to frame the results as a victory for George W. Bush, because the president’s party rarely gains seats in a midterm election and the president rarely makes that sort of effort” for his party’s candidates. After the latest elections, the media’s objectivity is being questioned anew. www.hillnews.com /news/112002/media.aspx   (1044 words)

Diebold Election Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The GEMS software, certified by NASED via Ciber Labs employee Shawn Southworth of Huntsville, Alabama is at the center of an alleged Diebold Election Systems electoral fraud, 2004 that is much more serious than the previous allegations in the U.S. presidential election, 2000 and U.S. midterm election, 2002 in which Diebold also came under scrutiny. Diebold attempted to stop the release and publication of a number of internal memos by sending cease and desist letters to sites hosting these documents demanding that they be removed in violation of the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act provisions of the DMCA found in § 512 of the United States Copyright Act.

ChannelCincinnati.com - News - Schmidt Narrowly Beats Hackett For Congress Nationally, Democrats had viewed the race as a bellwether for 2006, saying even a close loss in such a heavily GOP district would be a good sign for them in midterm elections. Elections officials said turnout could be as high as 25 percent, a strong showing for a summertime special election. Schmidt won the seat in the Republican-dominated, seven-county district with 52 percent of the vote, and Three Rivers, Edgewood and Franklin passed school levies in Tuesday night's special election. www.channelcincinnati.com /news/4801608/detail.html   (1044 words)

OpinionJournal - Featured Article Chrétien is the only Canadian prime minister ever to have been elected to the office and ejected from it in midterm by his own party, as his talented finance minister, Paul Martin, relentlessly undermined his position. What makes them Canadian are their generous social programs, relatively (to the U.S.) high taxes to pay for them, and the endless repetition of the mantra that Canadians are not Americans, despite being practically indistinguishable from Americans from Northern states. For most of their history, the Canadian Conservatives have been an uneasy coalition of prairie populists and Toronto Tories, and generally an aggregation of people united by the fact that, for differing reasons, they weren't Liberals. www.opinionjournal.com /editorial/feature.html?id=110005275   (1719 words)
