New Midterm Election Resource On Line
As the nation heads into the 2010 midterm Congressional elections, the University of Virginia Center for Politics to which YLI belongs announces the release of its latest publication, Get In The Booth: A Citizen's Guide to the 2010 Midterm Elections.
This timely publication contains original chapters by Center Director Larry J. Sabato, along with those of other distinguished election scholars and prominent political journalists. Pearson/Longman publishers are offering FREE online access to the public at www.getinthebooth2010.com. Following the election, Sabato is scheduled to release Pendulum Swing, a comprehensive post-election analyses of all the results of the 2010 election cycle.
In Get In The Booth: A Citizen's Guide to the 2010 Midterm Elections, Sabato introduces readers to the dynamics of the 2010 election and observes: "In the strictest sense, a midterm is not a referendum on the president. The president's name is not on the ballot. But increasingly, political scientists have come to realize that campaign outcomes for Congress, governors, and even thousands of state legislative posts around the country have a strong relationship to the voters' level of approval for the White House administration."
