Before Florida, there was a campaign. Though traditional on many levels of communication among candidates, media, and voters, the 2000 campaign also featured new and innovative communication approaches in the presidential, Congressional, and state elections. The Millennium Election highlights some of the most important campaign communication from the 2000 contests, looking at candidates' political messages, the media's campaign coverage, the impact of the Internet, and the political socialization of young voters. The authors' diverse studies and viewpoints show that we still have much to learn about traditional candidate-voter interactions as well as new forms of political communication--and these forms must work together to engage a new generation of voters.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This comprehensive book is a must for anyone interested in the dynamics of campaign 2000 and the study of political communication. Its academic and practical depth and breadth--from political ads, debates, new media, and political strategies to other parts of the most bizarre election in our nation's history--provides a pristine prism for understanding not just the past campaign, but also the political perspectives, insights, and leadership styles of the 'winners' as they attempt to engage the public with their eyes on 2004. The authors deserve kudos for their effort. (J. Gregory Payne )
The Millennium Election captures, in concrete studies, a broader range of campaign communication activities than any book I've seen. The writing and analysis are thoughtful, crisp, and right on the money. (Bruce Gronbeck )
A must-have, new research-based book that has as its focus the critical communication factors necessary to provide definitive answers for the question, 'What really happened in the 2000 election?' (Judith Trent )
