The Forum (8:4): Midterm Elections of 2010

"This issue of The Forum gathers an array of pieces interpreting the midterm elections of 2010. Three of these address election outcomes in the large: Jason Engle and Byron Shafer on 2010 in the longest run; Andrew Busch on what happened and what it could mean; and James Campbell on the structure of a three-wave election. Five others focus on aspects of 2010 that are widely thought to be distinctive: Erika Fowler and Travis Ridout [WSU Pol S prof] on the ad campaign, Zachary Courser on the Tea Party, David Canon on the year of the outsider, Michael Franz on campaign spending by candidates, parties, and interest groups, and Michael McDonald on voter turnout. A further three then consider aspects of campaign dynamics as they unfolded: Costas Panagopoulos on public responses and voter movement, Robert Saldin on the place of the healthcare issue, and Jeffrey Stonecash on the art of campaign strategy.
