Book Description

0813309077 978-0813309071 September 1990 illustrated edition
Is divided government - a Republican president and a Democratic congress - the product of diminished competition for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives? In this study the author uses a detailed analysis of the evolution of competition in postwar House elections to argue that the problems Republicans face in seeking House seats are political rather than structural.

5.0 out of 5 stars must read in literature on divided government, March 7, 2004
By A Customer
This is a must read in the area of divided government. The author debunks some of the popular explanations for divided government and then offers an explanation grounded in a review of US House elections. A must read.
